Abstract: systems and methods for providing opportunities for interactions and communication between vehicles and passengers. in particular, a vehicle socialization platform is provided for facilitating a wide range of social and utilitarian exchanges between vehicles and their occupants, thus providing a community of interconnected vehicles. vehicle interactions can include passive communication, including vehicles from a particular fleet acknowledging other fleet vehicles without intervention from a passenger or user. vehicle interactions can include active communication, in which passengers are engaged with and have some control over vehicle communications through dedicated experiences provided in a ridehail application or on an in-vehicle tablet. in particular, some experiences can become dynamically available based on the fleet vehicle's proximity to another fleet vehicle. the vehicle socialization platform is a smart socialization platform that enables two-way communication between vehicles and passengers, facilitating a wide range of social and utilitarian exchanges between vehicles and vehicle occupants.
