In some embodiments, a method includes receiving a plurality of instances of resource data from a plurality of connected vehicles. The plurality of instances of resource data describe unused computing resources of the plurality of connected vehicles while present at the geographic location. The method includes analyzing the plurality of instances of resource data to determine rules data describing whether a micro-vehicular cloud should be formed at the geographic location. The method includes transmitting the rules data to the particular connected vehicle. The rules data is operable to control whether the particular connected vehicle forms a micro-vehicular cloud at the geographic location. In some embodiments, the method includes determining whether a particular connected vehicle forms a micro-vehicular cloud at a geographic location based on a current time.
