Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for associating vehicles en route to a common destination. A request is received from a first vehicle as to an identification of one or more additional vehicles en route to the common destination. The first vehicle is associated with the additional vehicles as part of a caravan. Information is provided as to each of the vehicles in the caravan.

Description

technical field [0001] The technical field relates generally to the field of vehicles, and more particularly to methods and systems for associating vehicles en route to a common destination. Background technique [0002] Many vehicles today include vehicle navigation systems that provide vehicle occupants with information about the vehicle's location. Occupants of some vehicles may also travel to a common destination with known occupants of one or more other vehicles (eg, family or friends traveling to a common destination). However, maintaining continuous communication with other vehicles can be difficult or cumbersome using common techniques, such as via telephone calls, conference calls, and text messages. [0003] Thus, it may be that occupants of such vehicles would like to more easily monitor and / or communicate with one another en route to a common destination. Furthermore, other desirable features and characteristics of the present disclosure will become apparent fr...
