Connected vehicle data offload management

A first vehicle comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• wirelessly receive route data from a second vehicle indicating both a shared portion of an upcoming route of the first vehicle and a deviance, after the shared portion, from the upcoming route;
• determine, based on the received route data, that the deviance will bring the second vehicle within communicable range of first known wireless transceiver sooner than the first vehicle will come within communicable range of a second known wireless transceiver;
• and
• wirelessly transfer data, designated for upload, from the first vehicle to the second vehicle responsive to the determination.

A system comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• determine that a first vehicle includes first data designated for upload;
• determine that a first and second vehicle will travel in communicable proximity to each other for at least a duration sufficient to wirelessly transfer the first data from the first vehicle to the second vehicle, based on route data of the first and second vehicles;
• and
• determine that the second vehicle will travel within communicable range of first known wireless transceiver sooner than the first vehicle will come within communicable range of a second known wireless transceiver, based on the route data, and responsively instruct the first vehicle to transfer the first data to the second vehicle when the first vehicle is within communicable proximity to the second vehicle.
