Claim 16:
17. A tangible, non-transitory, computer readable medium storing instructions thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed, are configured to cause a processor to:
receive data corresponding to energy usage of a first device within a property from a sensor;
analyze the data to determine an amount of energy used for the first device over a first portion of a time period;
project an estimated cost of operation for the first device over the time period based on the amount of energy used for the first device over the first portion of the time period;
determine a budget based at least in part on an amount of funds in a bank account of a user;
update the budget based at least in part on a change in the amount of funds in the bank account of the user to generate an updated budget;
compare the estimated cost of operation for the first device over the time period to the updated budget; and
in response to determining that the estimated cost of operation for the first device is above the updated budget, instruct the vehicle to autonomously travel at control a driving parameter of the vehicle associated with the property over a second portion of the time period as a corrective action to decrease an actual cost of operation for the first device and the vehicle over the second portion of the time period.
