A system for transportation includes a self-driving vehicle, an artificial intelligence (AI) system in communication with the vehicle, and a vehicle routing system to plan a planned route for the vehicle to meet a common transportation need. The vehicle is to autonomously follow the planned route. The AI system includes a data processing system to gather social media-sourced data about a plurality of individuals, the data being sourced from a plurality of social media sources, process the data to identify a subset of the individuals who form a social group based on group affiliation references in the data, and detect keywords in the data indicative of the transportation need. A neural network is trained to predict transportation needs based on the detected keywords to identify the common transportation need for the subset of the individuals.
