Abstract

Systems and techniques for vehicle distributed computing for on-demand computational capacity. Systems and techniques described herein enable distribution of discrete computational work requests to other vehicle systems through generation and awarding of smart contracts to locally positioned other vehicle systems bidding for the smart contracts. Data for processing the requests is encrypted and send to the vehicle winning the smart contract, which processes the request and returns the completed work product. Completion of the smart contract initiates transfer of value to the processing vehicle as incentive for processing the work load.
