Abstract
The disclosure includes embodiments for spinning out members of a first vehicular micro cloud to form a second vehicular micro cloud. According to some embodiments, a method includes forming a first vehicular micro cloud including a set of members. The method includes exiting the first vehicular micro cloud by a subset of the members of the first vehicular micro cloud. The method incudes identifying a reason to form a second vehicular micro cloud by the subset. The method includes executing steps, by a processor and a wireless radio, to form the second vehicular micro cloud by the subset based on the identification of the reason so that, by the formation of the second vehicular micro cloud, the spinning out of the subset of the members of the first vehicular micro cloud is achieved. The processor and the wireless radio are elements of a hub of the second vehicular micro cloud.
