We are introducing an innovative networking approach to the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) for their automation and orchestration by redesigning the wireless edge framework. To this end, we propose to expand the Software Defined Networking (SDN) functionality from the edge network to the cars, i.e. equipping our vehicles with mobile base stations having SDN capabilities. By adopting such a novel approach, most of the impending IoV automation and orchestration challenges are ameliorated, which has been extremely difficult and non-trivial to tackle by using standard existing approaches. The three primary challenges identified in this context are a) the scalability of the network of connected autonomous vehicles, b) the desirable security of the IoV data networking, and c) the flexibility of quality of experience (QoE) perceived by the vehicles. To tackle the aforementioned three challenges, we design a policy-driven framework for a secure and efficient IoV networking paradigm and then investigate its performance via analytic modeling. More importantly, from the IoV data networking perspective, we design an intent-based flow offloading scheme to facilitate enhanced and adjustable QoE. Furthermore, we develop a rigorous analysis to quantify the efficiency of the proposed SDN-capable IoV data networking by modeling TCP connections over WiFi. Using mathematics as a tool for reasoning the three key challenges, our feasibility analysis is validated with extensive simulations. Finally, we provide new insights by deriving the stability conditions for the data flow dynamics of the proposed approach.
