Original Abstract Submitted

the subject matter described herein presents various technical solutions for the technical problems facing autonomous vehicles (e.g., fully autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles). to address technical problems facing wireless communication cost and latency, a heterogeneous roadside infrastructure can be used to improve the ability for a vehicle to communicate with a data source. to address technical problems facing interruption of vehicle services due to an abrupt loss of connection, a quality of service system provides the ability to determine and share quality of service information, such as location-based information, maps, interference data, and other quality of service information. to address technical problems facing high volume data upload and download between autonomous vehicles and cloud-based data services, optical wireless communication (owc) provides increased data throughput and reduced complexity and may be beneficial for short-range high-mobility wireless communications.
