Abstract
A vehicle computing system may execute a recommendation application to identify driver characteristics descriptive of the driving style of a driver of the vehicle based at least in part on captured vehicle data, determine an application recommendation for a mobile application to be installed by the driver based on the driver characteristics, and to send the application recommendation to the driver.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a computing system of a vehicle configured to execute a recommendation application to
- identify driver characteristics descriptive of a driving style of a driver of the vehicle based at least in part on captured vehicle data,
- determine an application recommendation for a mobile application to be installed by the driver based on the driver characteristics, and
- send the application recommendation to the driver.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying driver characteristics descriptive of a driving style of the driver of a vehicle based at least in part on captured vehicle data indicative of driver inputs to the vehicle and behavior of the vehicle responsive to the driver inputs,
- determining an application recommendation for a mobile application to be installed by the driver based on the driver characteristics, and
- sending the application recommendation to the driver.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions of a recommendation application that, when executed by a vehicle computing system, is configured to cause the vehicle computing system to:
- identify driver characteristics descriptive of a driving style of a driver of the vehicle based at least in part on captured vehicle data indicative of driver inputs to the vehicle and behavior of the vehicle responsive to the driver inputs,
- determine an application recommendation for a mobile application to be installed by the driver based on the driver characteristics, and
- send the application recommendation to the driver.
