Abstract
Systems and methods are directed to allocating unused or otherwise under-utilized computing resources of autonomous vehicles. In one example, a computer-implemented method obtaining, by a computing system, data describing a computational status of each autonomous vehicle of one or more autonomous vehicles describing a current or forecasted computational load. The method includes determining, by the computing system, an amount of excess computational capacity of each autonomous vehicle of the one or more autonomous vehicles, the amount of excess computational capacity for each autonomous vehicle of the one or more autonomous vehicles based at least in part on the computational status of the autonomous vehicle and a total computational capacity of the autonomous vehicle. The method includes allocating, by the computing system, at least a portion of the amount of excess computational capacity of each autonomous vehicle to processing operations associated with participation in a distributed ledger.
