1. A system comprising:
a vehicular bonding/multi-link agent unit, configured to operate as a part of a vehicle,
and configured to receive vehicular data that is captured by a particular Vehicular Sensor which is one of: (i) a vehicular camera of said vehicle, (ii) a vehicular microphone of said vehicle, (iii) a vehicular LIDAR of said vehicle, (iv) another type of vehicular sensor of said vehicle,
and configured to generate from data sensed by said particular Vehicular Sensor, a vehicular sensor data-stream of packets,
and further configured to create a bonded wireless communication connection that transports data-packets of said vehicular sensor data-stream of packets from said vehicle to a remote server via multiple-links wireless communication, by uploading some data-packets of said vehicular sensor data-stream via a vehicular transceiver that is an integrated component of said vehicle, and by simultaneously uploading some other data-packets of said vehicular senor data-stream via a transceiver of a mobile electronic device that is held and operated by an occupant of said vehicle;
wherein the mobile electronic device of said occupant, and the vehicular transceiver of said vehicle, operate in concert to simultaneously upload different packets of said same vehicular sensor data-stream that carry information sensed by said particular Vehicular Sensor, based on a packet distribution scheme that takes into account at least: (a) current available uploading bandwidth of said vehicular transceiver, and (b) available uploading bandwidth of said mobile electronic device of said occupant, and (c) current latency of wireless communication of said vehicular transceiver, and (d) current latency of wireless communication of said mobile electronic device of said occupant;
wherein said vehicular bonding/multi-link agent unit is configured to transport from said vehicle to a remote recipient, concurrently and via a bonded set of multiple communication links, a first data-stream of a first application and a second data-stream or a second application;
wherein said first data-stream is associated with a first priority parameter;
wherein said second data-stream is associated with a second priority parameter;
wherein, if the first priority parameter is greater than the second priority parameter, then the vehicular bonding/multi-link agent unit is to (i) pause an ongoing transport of an ongoing transmission session of the second data-stream which is associated with the second priority parameter, and (ii) allocate an increased bandwidth to transport of the first data-stream that is associated with the first priority parameter.
