Abstract
A system includes a processor configured to determine a projected vehicle arrival time at a destination point. The processor is also configured to determine a projected hailed-ride arrival time at the destination point and, responsive to the projected vehicle arrival time being within a predefined threshold of the projected hailed-ride arrival time, request a hailed-ride to arrive at the destination point.
Claims6
A system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- determine a projected charging completion time for a driver vehicle charging at a charging point;
- determine a projected hailed-ride arrival time at a driver, of the driver vehicle, location different from the charging point;
- determine a projected travel time from the driver location to the charging point;
- and
- responsive to the projected hailed-ride arrival time to the driver location plus the projected travel time from the driver location to the charging point placing a hailed ride at the recharging point within a predefined threshold of the projected charging completion time, request the hailed-ride, to take the driver from the driver location to the charging point, to arrive at the driver location.
