Claim:
1. A method comprising: determining, by a processor, an operation state of a vehicle by determining a battery level associated with a battery of the vehicle and a threshold for the battery level which must be maintained so that the battery maintains a sufficient charge to start the vehicle, wherein the operation state includes a battery-restricted state; determining digital data to transmit to the vehicle based on the operation state; determining a location associated with the vehicle; determining a data transfer capacity associated with the vehicle at the location; determining a data consumption rate associated with the vehicle; determining a data transfer rate for the vehicle based on the data transfer capacity and the data consumption rate, wherein the data transfer rate is configured so that the battery of the vehicle maintains the sufficient charge to start the vehicle after the digital data is transferred to the vehicle; and transferring the digital data to the vehicle based on the operation state, and the data transfer rate, and the battery level so that the threshold is maintained and the battery of the vehicle maintains the sufficient charge to start the vehicle after the digital data is transferred to the vehicle.
