Application and portability of vehicle functionality profiles

Abstract

Application and portability of vehicle functionality profiles are facilitated. For instance, an example method may include receiving data indicative of an identity of a user. The method may include determining, based on the identity, that the user has vehicle profile setting privileges for the vehicle. The method may include receiving a vehicle profile associated with the user to apply to the vehicle to adjust at least one operating parameter of the vehicle. The vehicle profile is one of a plurality of predetermined vehicle profiles selectable by the user. The method may include determining whether the first vehicle profile can be applied to the vehicle; and, in response to determining the first vehicle profile can be applied to the vehicle, applying the first vehicle profile to the vehicle that causes an operation of the vehicle.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 determining, by a vehicle comprising a processor, that a user identity has vehicle profile setting privileges for the vehicle; and   determining, by the vehicle, whether a vehicle profile associated with the user identity is able to be applied to the vehicle to adjust an operating parameter of the vehicle.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 in response to determining that the vehicle profile is unable to be applied to the vehicle to adjust the operating parameter of the vehicle:
 transmitting, by the vehicle to a user equipment associated with the user identity, a group of vehicle profiles that is able to be applied to the vehicle; 
 receiving, by the vehicle from the user equipment, a selected vehicle profile from the group; and 
 applying, by the vehicle, the selected vehicle profile to the vehicle to adjust the operating parameter of the vehicle. 
   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the user identity is a first user identity, and the vehicle profile is a first vehicle profile comprising a first ride preference associated with the first user identity, and further comprising, in response to determining that the first vehicle profile is unable to be applied to the vehicle:
 receiving, by the vehicle, a second vehicle profile comprising a second ride preference associated with a second user identity; and   applying the second vehicle profile, the first ride preference, and the second ride preference to adjust the operating parameter of the vehicle.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:

         8 . A system, comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 determining that a user identity has vehicle profile setting privileges for a vehicle; and 
 determining whether a vehicle profile associated with the user identity is able to be applied to the vehicle to configure an operation of the vehicle. 
   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 in response to determining that the vehicle profile is unable to be applied to the vehicle to configure the operation of the vehicle:
 sending, to a user device associated with the user identity, vehicle profiles that are able to be applied to the vehicle; 
 receiving, from the user device, a selected vehicle profile from the vehicle profiles; and 
 applying the selected vehicle profile to the vehicle to configure the operation of the vehicle. 
   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the user identity is a first user identity, and the vehicle profile is a first vehicle profile comprising a first ride preference associated with the first user identity, and further comprising, in response to determining that the first vehicle profile is unable to be applied to the vehicle:
 receiving a second vehicle profile comprising a second ride preference associated with a second user identity; and   applying the second vehicle profile, the first ride preference, and the second ride preference to configure the operation of the vehicle.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 in response to determining that the vehicle profile is able to be applied to the vehicle, applying the vehicle profile to the vehicle to configure the operation of the vehicle.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the user identity is a first user identity, the vehicle profile is a first vehicle profile, and the operations further comprise:
