Abstract
One embodiment provides a method comprising determining a recurring event involving a first vehicle based on location information for the first vehicle over a pre-determined period of time, and determining one or more recurring vehicles for the recurring event. Each recurring vehicle is a different vehicle, and a number of times the recurring vehicle is within proximity of the first vehicle over the pre-determined period of time satisfies a pre-determined threshold. The method further comprises establishing a vehicle social network including the first vehicle and the one or more recurring vehicles. The method further comprises generating a shared pool of resources and caching power by pooling together resources and caching power of each vehicle included in the vehicle social network, and utilizing the shared pool of resources and caching power to facilitate collaborative caching between vehicles in the vehicle social network.
