Systems and methods for transportation

This invention describes a car-sharing network where a computer manages requests from people needing rides and orders for item deliveries. It creates the most cost-effective route by combining these requests, potentially for a single driver to pick up both passengers and packages. The system can also suggest interesting items or events to riders by analyzing their social media profiles, and even adjust the route to accommodate these suggestions.

Why it matters: Filed before advanced AI could efficiently optimize complex multi-stop routes for both passengers and packages. Significant improvements in AI for personalized recommendations from social profiles also make this more feasible now.
