1. A method of generating a user profile, comprising:
determining by a first user of a first vehicle that an interactive maneuver is needed to provide a resource, wherein the first user is the first vehicle, and the first vehicle is a first autonomous vehicle, and the resource is a spot in traffic, and determining is based on one of the following: proximity to a destination, reduction of time to a destination, an identified need to stop the first vehicle, and a desired need to stop the first vehicle;
identifying a second vehicle to interact with by referencing a user profile including a safety score for the second vehicle using a wireless interface circuit included in the first vehicle, wherein the second vehicle is movable from the resource to make the resource available for the first vehicle;
contacting a second user of the second vehicle, using a wireless interface circuit included in the first vehicle, wherein the second user is the second vehicle and the second vehicle is a second autonomous vehicle;
requesting the second user of the second vehicle to perform the interactive maneuver using the wireless interface circuit;
receiving a response from the second user of the second vehicle using the wireless interface circuit;
performing the interactive maneuver with the second vehicle;
recording data with one or more sensors included in the first vehicle including speed of travel at the initiation and conclusion of the interactive maneuver, changes in acceleration, distances the first vehicle and the second vehicle in the direction of travel and cross-lane direction;
calculating a safety score for the second vehicle from a minimum time to collision of the second vehicle to another vehicle, lateral acceleration of the second vehicle, longitudinal acceleration of the second vehicle, a spatial gap between the second vehicle and a vehicle traveling in front of the second vehicle, and a time gap between the second vehicle and the vehicle traveling in front of the second vehicle; and
generating the user profile for the second user based on the performance of the interactive maneuver and providing the resource, wherein the user profile includes the safety score.
