Abstract
A system receives scene data from a plurality of multi-access edge computing (MEC) nodes, the scene data for each MEC node indicating data about a scene covered by sensors of a given one of the MEC nodes. The system determines one or more areas of interest included in at least one of the scenes and, for at least one of the one or more areas of interest that includes indicated data from at least two of the MEC nodes, determines whether at least one of the at least two MEC nodes has preferential data. Additionally, the system utilizes the data from the at least two MEC nodes to execute a vehicle maneuver autonomously, in accordance with parameters defined for data utilization that dictate utilization based on the preferential data determination.
