Abstract
An example operation establishes a communication link between a first vehicle and a computing node. The system then identifies the data to be transmitted from the computing node to the first vehicle, considering that a portion of this data is already stored on a second vehicle. As the second vehicle is determined to be in proximity to the first vehicle, the system transmits the portion of the data stored on the second vehicle to the first vehicle. The remaining portion of the data is transmitted directly from the computing node to the first vehicle, completing the data transfer when the vehicles are in close proximity.
