Abstract
A system and method that allow non-human autonomous agents to participate in a social internet network. The system defines the autonomous agent by a standard email address, website address, or other such identification, that allows human participants of the social network to contact the non-human autonomous agent to perform some operation through the Internet. In one non-limiting example, the non-human autonomous agent is a vehicle that allows the vehicle owner, or user, to contact the vehicle through the social network to perform some operation, such as unlocking the vehicle doors, and allow authorized participants of the social network to see the vehicle as a participant of the network to gain information therefrom, such as the location of the vehicle.
