Abstract: A vehicle software upgrade method for obtaining a to-be-upgraded software version of a vehicle. When a vehicle performs the software upgrade method, the vehicle determines a current location of the vehicle, and determines whether the vehicle is located within a rescue range of a service site. Then, the vehicle sends, to the cloud server, information that includes a determining result and a to-be-upgraded version of software currently installed on the vehicle. The cloud server pushes to the vehicle, based on the obtained information, an installation package type corresponding to the to-be-upgraded software version. Then, the vehicle determines, how to perform upgrade.
