Abstract
A method for enhancing data access capabilities of vehicles is provided. The method includes obtaining, by a first vehicle having a first level of autonomy, data in a first format, receiving, from a second vehicle having a second level of autonomy, a request for the data, converting the data from a first format to a second format based on the second level of autonomy, and transmitting the data in the second format to the second vehicle. The data in the second format is compatible with the second level of autonomy. The second level of autonomy is lower than the first level of autonomy.
