1. A method for managing a reputation that can be associated with a vehicle comprising:
- storing one or more portions of data harvested from one or more sensors associated with the vehicle;
comparing, by a processor, the stored one or more portions to one or more metrics, rules and/or standards;
determining a first portion of a reputation based on the comparison;
storing a performance value representing the first portion of the reputation;
receiving a report of a driving behavior associated with a driver of the vehicle, wherein the report is provided by at least one other driver;
analyzing the report of the driving behavior for information that indicates at least one of a good driving behavior and a bad driving behavior of the driver;
determining a perception value representing a second portion of the reputation based on the analysis;
generating the reputation based on combining the stored performance value with the perception value;
storing, in memory, a reputation value representing the reputation, wherein the reputation value is associated with at least one of the driver and the vehicle, and wherein the reputation value is stored with identification information, configured to identify the vehicle having the reputation value to others; and
sharing the reputation value and the identification information with one or more other proximate vehicles, the reputation value and identification information being displayable on a display associated with at least one of the one or more other proximate vehicles.

11. A system that manages a reputation that can be associated with a vehicle comprising:
-
storage that stores one or more portions of data harvested from one or more sensors associated with the vehicle; a processor that compares the stored one or more portions to one or more metrics, rules and/or standards; a behavior module that; determines a first portion of a reputation based on the comparison; stores a performance value representing the first portion of the reputation; receives a report of a driving behavior associated with a driver of the vehicle, wherein the report is provided by at least one other driver; analyzes the report of the driving behavior for information that indicates at least one of a good driving behavior and a bad driving behavior of the driver; determines a perception value representing a second portion of the reputation based on the analysis; generates the reputation based on combining the stored performance value with the perception value; stores the reputation value representing the reputation, wherein the reputation value is associated with at least one of the driver and the vehicle, and wherein the reputation value is stored with identification information that identifies the vehicle having the reputation value to others; and shares the reputation value and the identification information with one or more other proximate vehicles, the reputation value and identification information being displayable on a display associated with at least one of the one or more other proximate vehicles. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium executable on a computer system and including instructions to perform a method, the instructions comprising:
-
instructions to receive, at a third vehicle, a first reputation score associated with a first vehicle having a first position on a roadway; instructions to receive a second reputation score associated with a second vehicle having a second position on the roadway; instructions to provide a display in the third vehicle, wherein the display includes; a first representation of the first vehicle, wherein the first representation includes the first reputation score and a first indication of the first position in relation to the third vehicle, wherein the first representation identifies the first vehicle to a driver of the third vehicle; and a second representation of the second vehicle, wherein the second representation includes the second reputation score and a second indication of the second position in relation to the third vehicle, wherein the second representation identifies the second vehicle to the driver of the third vehicle; wherein at least one of the first reputation score associated with the first vehicle and the second reputation score associated with the second vehicle is generated based on combining a performance value with a perception value, wherein the performance value represents a first portion of a reputation and is determined based on compared data harvested from one or more vehicle sensors, wherein the perception value represents a second portion of the reputation and is determined based on an analysis of a received driving behavior report that is provided by at least one other driver.
