Abstract

Apparatus, systems, and/or methods may provide travel assistance. For example, a determination may be made that a user is to begin driving in the near future. In addition, a determination may be made of one or more predicted destinations when the user is to begin driving in the near future. Thus, travel assistance may be provided to the user based on the one or more predicted destinations when the user is to begin driving in the near future.

Claims

1. An apparatus comprising:

a drive intent determiner to determine a user is to begin driving in the near future before the user is to start a vehicle;

a destination determiner to determine one or more predicted destinations when the user is to begin driving in the near future; and

a drive adviser to provide travel assistance to the user based on the one or more predicted destinations when the user is to begin driving in the near future.
