Abstract
In some embodiments, techniques for initiating over-the-air software updates for a vehicle using a mobile computing device are provided. In some embodiments, the vehicle and the mobile computing device each communicate with a server computing system, but do not communicate directly with each other for software update functionality. The vehicle transmits messages indicating one or more vehicle state conditions to the server computing system. The mobile computing device receives messages indicating one or more vehicle state conditions from the server computing system, and presents an interface for initiating the software update in response to determining that the vehicle state conditions indicate that the vehicle is ready for a software update. The mobile computing device transmits a command to the server computing system to cause the software update to be initiated on the vehicle, and the server computing system transmits the command to the vehicle.
