A computer implemented method performs a task for a vehicle. A number of processor units detects a presence of the vehicle on a road. The number of processor units divides the task to be performed for the vehicle into subtasks. The number of processor units assigns the subtasks to Internet of Things nodes on possible paths that the vehicle can travel on the road. The number of processor units processes the subtasks using a set of the Internet of Things nodes on a selected path in the possible paths in real time as the vehicle moves on the selected path to form subtask results. The number of processor units combines the subtask results from the processed subtasks to form a task result for the task.
