1. A method to provide an indication of a location of a first vehicle, the method comprising, by a processor:
- receiving a request for the location of the first vehicle, wherein the request includes an identification of the first vehicle, and the identification is effective to identify the first vehicle;
searching for the identification of the first vehicle in a memory associated with a second vehicle in order to determine a presence of the identification in the memory associated with the second vehicle;
based on a result of the search, retrieving location data relating to the location of the first vehicle; and
transforming the location data into the indication of the location of the first vehicle.

Abstract
Technologies are generally described for methods and systems effective to provide an indication of a location of a first vehicle. In some examples, a processor may receive a request for the location of the first vehicle that includes an identification of the first vehicle. The processor may search for the identification of the first vehicle in a memory associated with a second vehicle. Based on a result of the search, the processor may retrieve location data relating to the location of the first vehicle. The processor may transform the location data into the indication of the location of the first vehicle.

11. A method to generate composite map data, the method comprising, by a processor:
-
receiving a request for a location of a particular vehicle, and the request includes an identification of the particular vehicle, wherein the identification is effective to identify the particular vehicle; identifying first location data that relates to a first location of a first vehicle, wherein the identifying the first location data is based on a presence of the identification of the particular vehicle in a first memory; identifying second location data that relates to a second location of a second vehicle configured to be in communication with the first vehicle over a network, wherein the identifying the second location data is based on a presence of the identification of the particular vehicle in a second memory; transforming the first location data into first map data; transforming the second location data into second map data; and generating the composite map data based on the first map data and second map data, wherein the composite map data includes an indication of the particular location of the particular vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
