Claim 14:
15. An On-Demand Autonomy (ODA) server for coordinating an ODA service, comprising:
a processor disposed in an ODA server in communication with a first vehicle and at least one second vehicle, configured to schedule a set of actions to receive a trip request for the ODA service from the first vehicle, and seek an agreement to establish a virtual link with the first vehicle to the at least one second vehicle based on a set of actions to identify the at least one second vehicle from a group of second vehicles, wherein the processor is configured to:
broadcast the trip request to the group of second vehicles:
receive a set of responses submitted by a subset of the group of second vehicles;
identify the at least one second vehicle from submitted responses from the group of second vehicles based on an application using a modeled clone with a set of functionalities to perform a matching operation between the first vehicle and the at least one second vehicle from the group of second vehicles;
coordinate one or more responses between the first vehicle and the at least one second vehicle based on results of the matching operation to confirm an acceptance of the agreement;
in response to confirmation of the acceptance of the agreement, create a trip plan for the trip request for the ODA service based on a set of preferences received from the first vehicle and the at least one second vehicle; and
present, by a heartbeat display, to each vehicle that dynamically presents real-time movement corresponding to monitored data that is transmitted back and forth between each vehicle that continuously monitors a set of health parameters associated with each vehicle, wherein the heartbeat display comprises a window that is indicative of a range of a vehicle status being inactive in the virtual link, degraded in the virtual link, and active in the virtual link.
