Vehicle sharing systems and methods

A method of correlating vehicular data for a plurality of vehicles, each vehicle including a network access device (NAD), the method comprising:

• storing driver information for a plurality of drivers in a driver database;
• storing vehicle information for the plurality of vehicles in a vehicle database;
• for each driver referenced in the driver database, correlating driver information with vehicle information of at least one vehicle stored in the vehicle database;
• cross-referencing, via processing circuitry of a database server, a first driver settings dataset in a driver settings database to a first vehicle dataset in a vehicle database to form a first enhanced data packet, wherein a driver is associated with the first driver settings dataset, the first driver settings dataset is cross-referenced to the at least one vehicle correlated with the driver in the vehicle database, and the first driver settings dataset includes one or more of infotainment settings, a memory seat setting, a saved destination setting, and a memory mirror setting;
• cross-referencing, via processing circuitry of the database server, a first vehicle conditions dataset in a vehicle conditions database to a first driver dataset in a driver database to form a second enhanced data packet, wherein the driver is associated with the first vehicle conditions dataset;
• correlating, via processing circuitry of the database server, the first enhanced data packet with the second enhanced data packet;
• downloading the first enhanced data packet to a NAD of a first vehicle correlated with the driver in the vehicle database;
• downloading the second enhanced data packet to the first NAD;
• transmitting a first initiation signal to the first NAD to implement the first driver settings dataset and to display the first vehicle conditions dataset on the first vehicle,
• uploading from the first NAD a current driver settings dataset and a current vehicle conditions dataset of the first vehicle in response to receiving an ignition off signal from the first NAD;
• uploading from the first NAD a subsequent driver settings dataset and a subsequent vehicle conditions dataset of the first vehicle in response to receiving a second ignition start signal from the first NAD;
• determining a change in one or more conditions between the uploaded current vehicle conditions dataset and the uploaded subsequent vehicle conditions dataset and
• predicting an event from the determined change in one or more conditions.

A database server of a vehicular data correlation system for a plurality of vehicles, each vehicle including a network access device (NAD), the database server comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to
• store driver information for a plurality of drivers in a driver database;
• store vehicle information for the plurality of vehicles in a vehicle database;
• for each driver referenced in the driver database, correlate driver information with vehicle information of at least one vehicle stored in the vehicle database;
• cross-reference a first driver settings dataset in a driver settings database to a first vehicle dataset in a vehicle database to form a first enhanced data packet, wherein a driver is associated with the first driver settings dataset, the first driver settings dataset is cross-referenced to the at least one vehicle correlated with the driver in the vehicle database, and the first driver settings dataset includes one or more of infotainment settings, a memory seat setting, a saved destination setting, and a memory mirror setting,
• cross-reference a first vehicle conditions dataset in a vehicle conditions database to a first driver dataset in a driver database to form a second enhanced data packet, wherein the driver is associated with the first vehicle conditions dataset,
• correlate the first enhanced data packet with the second enhanced data packet,
• download the first enhanced data packet to a NAD of a first vehicle correlated with the driver in the vehicle database,
• download the second enhanced data packet to the first NAD,
