Abstract
Systems, vehicles, and methods for creating a vehicle network. A system includes a wireless transceiver of a master vehicle configured to broadcast a connectivity signal. The system further includes a wireless transceiver of a follower vehicle configured to receive the connectivity signal to wirelessly link the follower vehicle to the master vehicle. The wireless transceiver of the follower vehicle is further configured to transmit vehicle identifying information to the master vehicle upon the follower vehicle being linked to the master vehicle. The system further includes a remote server configured to receive the vehicle identifying information of the follower vehicle from the master vehicle and a vehicle identifying information of the master vehicle from the master vehicle to create a vehicle group. The vehicle group includes the master vehicle and the follower vehicle to enable data exchange within the vehicle group.
