Abstract
System and techniques to manage vehicles as part of a vehicle data center are described herein. Vehicle management may include the acquisition of a virtual instance definition for the vehicle data center, which outlines the parking spaces that make up the virtual instance and required hardware specifications. Upon detection of an incoming or present vehicle at the parking facility, the vehicle computing capabilities are evaluated. If these capabilities align with those by the virtual instance definition, the vehicle may be assigned to that virtual instance. If assigned, the vehicle is instructed to occupy a designated parking spot, as per the virtual instance definition, where the vehicle will contribute on-board hardware to perform tasks that are either currently running or scheduled to run on the vehicle data center virtual instance.
