Abstract
In one embodiment, a vehicle having a plurality of network interfaces communicates with a first communication network via a first one of the network interfaces. The vehicle receives performance data regarding the first communication network and one or more other communication network, wherein the received performance data is associated with a particular location. The vehicle determines in advance of arriving at the particular location that the vehicle should switch from communicating with the first communication network to communicating with a selected one of the one or more other communication network, based on the received performance data. At the particular location, the vehicle switches from communicating with the first communication network via the first network interface to communicating with the selected communication network via a second one of the plurality of network interfaces.
