Virtual presence driver source?

Hi, do we have access to the existing default Virtual Device drivers? I have a virtual presence sensor that tracks my presence as arrived or departed, etc. My presence solution however generates more data, such as if I arrive at work, or depart my family's house. I could make global variables and workarounds like that, but I think I'd rather experiment with the virtual presence sensor itself to give it more commands/statuses than arrived and departed, but I don't think I have access to the starting point?

We don't have access to the built in code, but here is an example of a driver you can work with. I ripped this from my other code but should work fine. You can build from there.

metadata {
    definition (name: "Virtual Presence/Switch", namespace: "GvnCampbell", author: "Gavin Campbell") {
        capability "PresenceSensor"
 		capability "Switch"
		command "arrived"
		command "departed"
    }

}

def setPresent() {
	sendEvent(name: "presence", value: "present") 
	sendEvent(name: "switch", value: "on")
}

def setNotPresent() {
	sendEvent(name: "presence", value: "not present")
	sendEvent(name: "switch", value: "off")
}
def arrived() {
	setPresent()
}

def departed() {
	setNotPresent()
}

def on() {
	setPresent()
}
def off() {
	setNotPresent()
}
