A misbehaving vehicle is an example of an anomaly. A method includes receiving from a vehicular micro cloud, by a connected vehicle that is a member of the vehicular micro cloud, vehicular micro cloud data describing an anomaly and a first state of the anomaly in a geographic area. The method includes causing a sensor to record sensor data describing the geographic area. The method includes determining, based on the sensor data and the vehicular micro cloud data, whether the anomaly is still present and in the first state. The method includes generating evidence data describing a second state of the anomaly. The method includes transmitting the evidence data to the vehicular micro cloud. The method includes modifying an operation of the connected vehicle based on the evidence data. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: receiving from a vehicular micro cloud, by a connected vehicle that is a member of the vehicular micro cloud, vehicular micro cloud data describing an anomaly and a first state of the anomaly in a geographic area;
