1. A route designing system comprising:

  • at least one processor; and

    memory storing computer-readable instructions, that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to;

    receive, by the at least one processor, a request for a preferred route from a first geographical point to a second geographical point for a first vehicle;

    identify, by the at least one processor, a plurality of potential routes from the first geographical point to the second geographical point for the first vehicle;

    determine, by the at least one processor, driving scores associated with drivers of each of a plurality of vehicles, wherein the plurality of vehicles does not include the first vehicle;

    identify, by the at least one processor, a set of preferred vehicles within the plurality of vehicles and a set of non-preferred vehicles within the plurality of vehicles based, at least in part, on the driving scores associated with the drivers of each of the plurality of vehicles;

    associate, by the at least one processor, vehicles in the set of preferred vehicles and vehicles in the set of non-preferred vehicles with the plurality of potential routes;

    determine, by the at least one processor, a preferred route from the plurality of potential routes, wherein the preferred route is designed to maximize a likelihood of proximity to the vehicles in the set of preferred vehicles and minimize the likelihood of proximity to the vehicles in the set of non-preferred vehicles; and

    output the preferred route to a visual user interface device located in the first vehicle, wherein the user interface comprises a first component configured to visually display textual information and a second component to display alerts.
