Further, terms of the vehicle loan may be adjusted based upon vehicle usage-based data, including telematics data, and/or estimated vehicle depreciation. Additionally or alternatively, the one or more generated and/or adjusted terms may be based upon transportation metrics associated with usage of the vehicle by a transportation network company (TNC) and/or TNC driver. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer-implemented method comprising: establishing, via one or more network interfaces, a first communicative connection between a central processing system and a vehicle data system of a vehicle;

and transmitting, by the central processing system to the device of the receiving party, an indication of the one or more generated terms of the credit card. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising: establishing, via the one or more network interfaces, a third communicative connection between the central processing system and a transportation network company system associated with the receiving party, and obtaining, at the central processing system, one or more transportation metrics indicative of at least one of transportation provided by using the vehicle or transportation provided by the receiving party, the one or more transportation metrics obtained via the third communicative connection from the transportation network company system; and wherein generating the one or more terms of the loan is further based upon the one or more transportation metrics. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The computer-implemented method of claim 7, further comprising: generating, at the central processing system and based upon the vehicle operations data, the guaranty data, and the one or more transportation metrics, one or more terms of a credit card for which the receiving party is eligible; and transmitting, by the central processing system to the device of the receiving party, an indication of the one or more generated terms of the credit card. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising: transmitting at least a portion of the vehicle operations data via the second communicative connection to the underwriting system; and wherein obtaining the underwriting data comprises obtaining underwriting data generated by the underwriting system based upon the at least the portion of the vehicle operations data. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the one or more vehicular telemetry metrics include an indication of distance driven or otherwise traveled by the vehicle, and wherein the one or more terms of the loan are based at least in part upon the distance driven or otherwise traveled. ### Claim 11 A computer system comprising: a first communicative connection, to a vehicle data system, via which data indicative of operations of a vehicle is received at the system, the vehicle operations data including one or more vehicular telemetry metrics obtained via one or more vehicle-mounted sensors, wherein the system receives the data indicative of operations of the vehicle based upon sampling and transmission of the vehicular telemetry metrics by the vehicle data system during operation of the vehicle; a second communicative connection, to an underwriting system, via which underwriting data corresponding to a receiving party is received at the system, wherein the receiving party is associated with the vehicle; one or more processors; one or more memories; and a set of non-transitory computer-executable instructions that are stored on the one or more memories and that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to: determine, based at least upon the vehicle operations data, including the vehicle telemetry metrics obtained via the one or more vehicle-mounted sensors during the operations of the vehicle, one or more autonomous features present in the vehicle and an extent of a usage of the one or more autonomous features during the operation of the vehicle; determine or adjust, based at least upon the usage of the one or more autonomous features, an estimated depreciation of the vehicle; generate, based upon the vehicle operations data, the estimated depreciation, and the underwriting data, one or more terms of a vehicle loan for which the receiving party is eligible, and transmit, via one or more network interfaces, an indication of the generated one or more vehicle loan terms to a device of the receiving party. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The computer system of claim 11, wherein the vehicle loan corresponds to a purchase of the vehicle by the receiving party. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The computer system of claim 11, wherein the vehicle is a first vehicle, and wherein the vehicle loan corresponds to a purchase of a second vehicle by the receiving party. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The computer system of claim 11, wherein the one or more vehicular telemetry metrics include at least one of an odometer reading, GPS data, an engine reading, a fluid reading, a driving pattern, or a malfunction reading. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The computer system of claim 11, further comprising a second set of non-transitory computer-executable instructions that are stored on the one or more memories and that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system further to: generate, based upon the vehicle operations data and the underwriting data, one or more terms of a credit card for which the receiving party is eligible, and transmit, via the one or more network interfaces to the device of the receiving party, an indication of the one or more generated terms of the credit card. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The computer system of claim 11, further comprising: a third communicative connection, to a transportation network company system associated with the receiving party, via which one or more transportation metrics indicative of at least one of transportation provided by using the vehicle or transportation provided by the receiving party are received at the system;
