Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and a computer system for modifying regional driving habits. A computer determines a first value associated with a regional driving habit for a region. The computer determines a second value associated with a target driving habit, wherein the second value is not substantially equivalent to the first value. The computer determines that a number of at least semi-autonomous vehicles in an area is above a threshold value. The computer transmits information instructing the number of at least semi-autonomous vehicles to operate based on the second value.

A computer program product for modifying regional driving habits, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to determine a first value associated with a regional driving habit for a region;
- program instructions to determine a second value associated with a target driving habit, wherein the second value is not substantially equivalent to the first value;
- program instructions to determine that a number of at least semi-autonomous vehicles in an area is above a threshold value;
- and
- program instructions to transmit information instructing the number of at least semi-autonomous vehicles to operate based on the second value.
A computer system for modifying regional driving habits, the computer system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer-readable storage media;
- program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to determine a first value associated with a regional driving habit for a region;
- program instructions to determine a second value associated with a target driving habit, wherein the second value is not substantially equivalent to the first value;
- program instructions to determine that a number of at least semi-autonomous vehicles in an area is above a threshold value;
- and
- program instructions to transmit information instructing the number of at least semi-autonomous vehicles to operate based on the second value.
