1. One or more machine readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause an in-vehicle computing system of a first vehicle to:
- transmit vehicle profile information indicative of at least one characteristic of the first vehicle to a vehicle assistance server while the first vehicle is located on a first road segment;
receive vehicle assistance data from the vehicle assistance server, wherein the vehicle assistance data is generated based on the vehicle profile information and crowd-sourced road data associated with the first road segment;
determine at least one vehicle control command based on the received vehicle assistance data; and
adjust a vehicle parameter of the first vehicle based on the vehicle control command.

Abstract
Technologies for assisting vehicles with changing road conditions includes vehicle assistance data based on crowd-sourced road data received from a plurality of vehicles and/or infrastructure sensors. The crowd-sourced road data may be associated with a particular section of roadway and may be used to various characteristics of the roadway such as grade, surface, hazardous conditions, and so forth. The vehicle assistance data may be provided to an in-vehicle computing device to assist or facilitate traversal of the roadway.
