Techniques for utilizing a mobile device as a proxy for a vehicle

A mobile device comprising:

• one or more transceivers;
• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled with the memory and the one or more transceivers, the one or more processors being configured to:
• determine whether the mobile device is temporally collocated with a vehicle;
• receive, via the one or more transceivers, one or more data messages from a second device associated with a remote vehicle, wherein:
• the one or more data messages are received via a vehicle-to-everything messaging protocol;
• in response to a determination that the mobile device is temporally collocated with the vehicle, determine whether a data message of the one or more data messages received from the second device is relevant to the vehicle based on identifying, one or more vehicle attributes regarding vehicles in an environment of the remote vehicle, from the data message;
• and
• in response to a determination that the data message is relevant to the vehicle:
• determine driving assistance information based at least in part on data extracted from the relevant data message, and
• provide the driving assistance information.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored for providing driving assistance information, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more processors of a mobile device, cause the one or more processors to:

• determine whether the mobile device is temporally collocated with a vehicle;
• receive one or more data messages from a second device associated with a remote vehicle, wherein:
• the one or more data messages are received via a vehicle-to-everything messaging protocol;
• in response to a determination that the mobile device is temporally collocated with the vehicle, determine whether a data message of the one or more data messages received from the second device is relevant to the vehicle with which the mobile device is temporally collocated based on identifying, one or more vehicle attributes regarding vehicles in an environment of the remote vehicle, from the data message;
• and
• in response to a determination that the data message is relevant to the vehicle:
• determine driving assistance information based at least in part on data extracted from the relevant data message, and
• provide the driving assistance information.

A mobile device comprising:

• means for determining whether the mobile device is temporally collocated with a vehicle;
• means for receiving one or more data messages from a second device associated with a remote vehicle, wherein:
• the one or more data messages are received via a vehicle-to-everything messaging protocol;
• means for determining whether a data message of the one or more data messages received from the second device is relevant to the vehicle with which the mobile device is temporally collocated, wherein determining whether the data message is relevant to the vehicle is performed in response to a determination that the mobile device is temporally collocated with the vehicle, based on identifying, one or more vehicle attributes regarding vehicles in an environment of the remote vehicle, from the data message;
• and
• means for determining driving assistance information based at least in part on data extracted from the relevant data message;
• and
• means for providing the driving assistance information;
• wherein the driving assistance information is determined and provided in response to a determination that the data message is relevant to the vehicle.
