Abstract
A vehicle artifact (e.g., software, firmware, content, etc.) distribution system uses direct vehicle-to-vehicle communications to extend a range of physical infrastructure and to improve speed and cost of distributing artifacts to vehicles. An artifact to be distributed is assigned a vehicle-to-vehicle distribution policy that defines gateway vehicle selection, wherein gateway vehicles are used to distribute the artifact to other recipient vehicles. A local software agent executing on the vehicles distributes the artifact in accordance with the vehicle-to-vehicle distribution policy using locally installed antennas of the vehicles.
