Systems and methods for towing avoidance

A method comprising:

• determining, by a vehicle, a current location of the vehicle;
• determining, by the vehicle, data associated with towing incidents at the current location;
• determining, by the vehicle and based on the data, that the current location is subject to towing;
• outputting, by the vehicle, a notification indicating that parking at the current location is likely to result in the vehicle being towed;
• determining, by the vehicle, that the vehicle is parked at the current location;
• determining, by the vehicle, that the vehicle is being towed;
• and
• sending, by the vehicle, a notification to a user device indicating that the vehicle is being towed,
• wherein determining that the vehicle is being towed comprises:
• determining, by the vehicle, absence of a key within the vehicle and determine that the vehicle is in motion;
• or
• determining, by the vehicle, absence of a person within the vehicle and determine that the vehicle is in motion;
• or
• determining, by the vehicle, absence of any diagnostic trouble codes that indicate that the vehicle is inoperable, determine absence of the key within the vehicle, and determine that the vehicle is in motion.

A vehicle comprising:

• a plurality of sensors;
• a processor coupled to the plurality of sensors;
• a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
• determine, based on the plurality of sensors, a current location of the vehicle;
• receive data associated with towing frequency at the current location;
• determine that the towing frequency at the current location is greater than a threshold;
• and
• output a notification indicating that the current location is subject to towing.

A method comprising:

• determining, by a vehicle, a current location of the vehicle;
• determining, by the vehicle, data associated with towing incidents at the current location;
• determining, by the vehicle and based on the data, that the current location is subject to towing;
• and
• outputting, by the vehicle, a notification indicating that parking at the current location is likely to result in the vehicle being towed,
• wherein determining that that the current location is subject to towing further comprising:
• determining, by the vehicle, a current time;
• determining, by the vehicle, an event scheduled to occur at the current location;
• determining, by the vehicle and based on the event, a likelihood of the vehicle being towed if parked at the current location;
• determining, by the vehicle, a time duration for the event;
• and
• determining, by the vehicle, that time duration includes the current time.

A method comprising:

• determining, by a vehicle, a current location of the vehicle;
• determining, by the vehicle, data associated with towing incidents at the current location;
• determining, by the vehicle and based on the data, that the current location is subject to towing;
• and
• outputting, by the vehicle, a notification indicating that parking at the current location is likely to result in the vehicle being towed,
• wherein outputting the notification may be based on determining, by the vehicle, that the current location is associated with greater than a threshold number of towing incidents over a particular time duration.
