monitoring signals of the primary RF communication mode used by the host vehicle for vehicle-to-vehicle communication;
determining, based at least in part on the monitoring, that a density of vehicles has exceeded a threshold density value;
responsive to the determining that the density of vehicles has exceeded the threshold density value, selecting, from one or more alternative communication modes alternative to the primary RF communication mode, a second RF communication mode with which to send a vehicle-to-vehicle message; and
sending, from the host vehicle, the vehicle-to-vehicle message via the second RF communication mode.
