1. A system to reduce vehicle resource depletion risk, the system comprises:

  • a memory configured to comprise one or more executable instructions;

    a controller configured to execute the executable instructions, the controller further configured to communicate with an efficiency module;

    the efficiency module configured to enable at least one fleet vehicle to optimally perform a rideshare system task, wherein the rideshare system task is optimally performed when the fleet vehicle traverses to a first location via a route that depletes less vehicle resources than would be depleted when the fleet vehicle traverses one or more alternative routes to the first location;

    a mobile computing device configured to generate first location data, the mobile computing device further configured to communicate the first location data to the controller;

    the fleet vehicle comprises a vehicle system and a vehicle controls device, the fleet vehicle configured to communicate with the controller, the vehicle system configured to generate second location data, the vehicle controls device configured to command the fleet vehicle to autonomously perform one or more rideshare system tasks; and

    wherein the executable instructions enable the controller to;

    receive the first location data transmitted from the mobile computing device;

    receive the second location data transmitted from the fleet vehicle;

    produce mapping data using an efficiency module which results in the form of a geosector divided geosurface map that comprises one or more geosectors;

    calculate dynamic content for each geosector data using the efficiency module;

    apply a statistical/probabilistic technique to the dynamic content data using the efficiency module so as to produce a dynamic status indicator for each geosector; and

    produce an output, the output being partially based on the first location data and the second location data, the output configured to instruct the vehicle controls device to command the fleet vehicle to optimally perform the one or more rideshare system tasks; and

    communicate the output to the fleet vehicle.
