Contents Delivery for Autonomous Driving Cars in Conjunction with Car Navigation System

We take a green field approach for architecting a network infrastructure to support autonomous driving cars. We present a possible use case scenario for it from the view point of wider information system in our society. Networks are one of the parts of our future infrastructure forming our society. In our scenario, we integrate decisions by car navigation systems and measurable information from a network. This makes it possible for us to enable predicting the future location of a car more precisely. Using this feature, and if we apply it for contents delivery using distributed caches on road sides, we can prefetch contents for a car to a next adjacent local cache server beforehand. We propose and compare several schemes to evaluate effectiveness of downloading a large content for a moving car.
