Abstract
In a given computing node comprising at least one processor operatively coupled to a memory and implemented in a given vehicle, the method comprises obtaining at the given computing node data from at least one of: (i) one or more sensors on the given vehicle; (ii) one or more computing nodes associated with one or more other vehicles via at least one vehicle-to-vehicle communication protocol; and (iii) one or more data sources along the path of the given vehicle. The given computing node utilizes at least a portion of the obtained data to compute a risk assessment for the given vehicle with respect to an operational safety level of a proposed vehicle action. The given computing node initiates or prevents the proposed vehicle action for the given vehicle based on the computed risk assessment.
