1. A system for transaction pre-fetching and provisioning, comprising:

  • a vehicle comprising;

    a plurality of vehicle sensors each sensing a physical characteristic of a user;

    at least one input device for receiving a transaction request, the transaction request comprising an authentication portion to be completed using at least one vehicle computer processor, and a transaction portion to be completed using a remote resource; and

    a vehicle communication interface;

    wherein the at least one vehicle computer processor authenticates a user to conduct the transaction portion based on the physical characteristics sensed by the vehicle sensors by comparing the sensed physical characteristics to stored physical characteristics in a user profile;

    a plurality of remote resources for performing the transaction portion; and

    a decision engine that is remote from the vehicle comprising at least one computer processor in communication with the vehicle communication interface and the plurality of remote resources that;

    receives vehicle location data for the vehicle;

    receives the transaction request;

    identifies the authentication portion and the transaction portion;

    receives remote resource availability data regarding the availability of each of the plurality of remote resources wherein the remote resource availability comprises queue length or predicted wait time;

    directs the at least one vehicle computer processor to perform the authentication portion using the sensed physical characteristics; and

    in response to the authentication;

    selects one of the plurality of remote resources based on the vehicle location, remote resource availability data, a characteristic of the transaction portion, and a past selection of one of the plurality of remote resources by the user;

    communicates the transaction portion to the selected remote resource; and

    communicates the selection of the remote resource and location information for the remote resource to the at least one vehicle computer processor, wherein the communication of the location causes a vehicle navigation system to present directions to the location on a display.
