Abstract: An orchestrator ensures the best available vehicle communication technology is selected. In the computer architecture, the orchestrator is injected on the data bus line is also coupled to a plurality of independent silos of vehicle communication technologies for autonomous driving vehicle technologies. Real-time accurate strength signals associated with the plurality of independent silos are received. One of the independent silos of communication is selected for rerouting the data transfer, based on a type of data involved in the data transfer, and based on a best available of the plurality of independent silos for the data transfer type. The data transfer is directed over the selected independent silo that is the best available.

Abstract: An embodiment of an apparatus includes a receiver operable to receive a message, and a processor operable to determine whether to broadcast the message. For example, the receiver and processor may be disposed on a first vehicle, and the receiver may receive the message from a second vehicle, where the message includes information related to a traffic-related event. The processor may determine whether to broadcast the message to other vehicles based on, e.g., the location of the first vehicle, the location of the second vehicle, the location of the event, or whether the processor has received the message more than once. The processor may determine not to broadcast the message if, based on these or other factors, it determines that the benefit of broadcasting the message is outweighed by the potential of the message, if broadcast, to “clog” a channel over which such traffic-related-event messages are broadcast.
