Establishing convergence points and determining time to convergence of related objects in motion

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that are executable to cause a system to perform operations comprising:

• determining a convergence point for a first object and a second object from (1) first position data, (2) first capability data, and (3) first environment data that are all associated with the first object and (1) second position data, (2) second capability data, and (3) second environment data that are all associated with the second object, wherein the convergence point is determined in accordance with a policy;
• determining a first amount of time for the first object to reach the convergence point based on the first position data, the first capability data, and the first environment data;
• determining a second amount of time for the second object to reach the convergence point based on the second position data, the second capability data, and the second environment data;
• determining an estimated amount of time to convergence between the first object and the second object, the estimated amount of time to convergence being equal to one of the first amount of time and the second amount of time;
• and
• transmitting the estimated amount of time to convergence to one or more of the first and second object, wherein the first and second objects are each associated with a respective automobile.

A computer comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions that are executable by the processor to cause the computer to perform:
• determining a convergence point for a first object and a second object from (1) first position data and (2) first capability data that are both associated with the first object and (1) second position data and (2) second capability data that are both associated with the second object, wherein the convergence point is determined in accordance with a policy;
• determining a first amount of time for the first object to reach the convergence point based on the first position data and the first capability data;
• determining a second amount of time for the second object to reach the convergence point based on the second position data and the second capability data;
• determining an estimated amount of time to convergence between the first object and the second object, the estimated amount of time to convergence being equal to a greater one of the first amount of time and the second amount of time;
• and
• transmitting the estimated amount of time to convergence to one or more of the first and second object.
