Systems and methods for identifying alternative routes for trips

A vehicle comprising:

• a cabin configured to receive an operator;
• a drive system configured to motivate, accelerate, decelerate, stop, and steer the vehicle;
• an operator control system configured to allow the operator to direct operations of the vehicle;
• an operator assist system configured to perform at least one function chosen from:
• autonomously control the vehicle without assistance of the operator;
• and
• assist the operator in controlling the vehicle;
• and
• a vehicle data system including a computing system that is at least one of integrated into operation of the vehicle and a portable computing device aboard the vehicle configured to:
• determine a trip is to be taken from an origin to a destination in the vehicle;
• identify available routes of travel for the vehicle from the origin to the destination;
• perform a comparison of the available routes to determine a recommended route presenting a reduced likelihood of the vehicle experiencing a loss-related incident;
• and
• present the recommended route to the operator.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• using a vehicle data system configured to monitor travel of a vehicle:
• determining a trip is being taken from an origin to a destination in the vehicle;
• identifying available routes of travel from the origin to the destination;
• performing a comparison of the available routes to determine a recommended route presenting a reduced likelihood of the vehicle experiencing a loss-related incident;
• and
• presenting the recommended route to an operator and receiving a selection from the operator as to whether to take the recommended route
