Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method in a computer system an autonomous vehicle, for enabling quality of service for data communications between autonomous driving vehicles based on best available channels available on a controller area network (CAN) data bus, the method comprising the steps of:
Injecting, by the computer system, an orchestrator on a CAN data bus line that is also coupled to a plurality of independent silos of vehicle communication technologies for autonomous driving vehicle technologies, wherein the plurality of independent silos broadcast intended data transfers;
receiving, by the computer system, real-time accurate strength signals associated with the plurality of independent silos, the strength signals associated with communication technologies;
intercepting, by the computer system, a data transfer over one of the plurality of independent silos, wherein the data transfer involves sending and receiving information from a neighboring autonomous vehicle;
determining, by the computer system, a data type involved in the data transfer;
selecting, by the computer system, one of the plurality of independent silos of communication for rerouting the data transfer, based on a type of data involved in the data transfer, and based on a best available silo of the plurality of independent silos for the data transfer type;
directing, by the computer system, the data transfer over the selected independent silo.
