Abstract:
Embodiments are provided for facilitating communications with a vehicle through an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAV can be configured to track vehicles traveling in an area covered by the UAV. An identification of the vehicle can be acquired after the vehicle is tracked by the UAV. The vehicle identification can be used to determine communication capability of the vehicle. Based on the determined communication capability of the vehicle, a communication request can be initiated by the UAV. The vehicle can determine either accept the communication request from the UAV or turn it down. If the vehicle accepts the communication request from the UAV, information intended for the vehicle, for example from another vehicle, can be forwarded to the vehicle by the UAV.
