1. A system for communicating fleet-specific features of a vehicle to one or more personal electronic devices, the system comprising:
one or more controllers in wireless communication with a centralized computer system including one or more databases for storing the fleet-specific features, the one or more controllers executing instructions to:
undergo a passive wireless interaction with the one or more personal electronic devices, wherein the passive wireless interaction involves determining the one or more personal electronic devices are located within a predefined proximity around the vehicle without human interaction; and
in response to undergoing the passive wireless interaction, transmit one or more fleet-specific features to the one or more personal electronic devices, wherein the one or more fleet-specific features are shared by a fleet of vehicles, wherein the fleet of vehicles include an immediate vehicle and a group of vehicles that share one or more common attributes.
