1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by an apparatus associated with a receiving entity via a network, telematics sensor data from telematics sensors of a plurality of autonomous vehicles;
determining, by the apparatus, current locations and future locations of the autonomous vehicles in a grip map based on the telematics sensor data;
determining, by the apparatus, one or more data requests specifying different data cacheability indicators per sensor for one or more of the telematics sensors of the autonomous vehicles located within one or more bounded geographic areas in the grip map based, at least in part, on whether currently available telematics sensor data meet one or more data requirements associated with the current locations and the future locations;
transmitting, by the apparatus, the one or more data requests to the one or more of the autonomous vehicles; and
in response to the one or more data requests, receiving, by the apparatus, additional telematics sensor data for assisted driving of one or more of the autonomous vehicles in the one or more bounded geographic areas.

Abstract
An approach is provided for processing and transmitting sensor data in a bandwidth efficient manner. The approach involves causing, at least in part, a specification of one or more prioritization attributes for one or more sensors associated with at least one transmitting entity. The approach further involves processing and/or facilitating a processing of the one or more prioritization attributes to determine whether to cause, at least in part, (a) a transmission of sensor data associated with the one or more sensors to at least one receiving entity, (b) a caching of the sensor data prior to a batch transmission of the sensor data to the at least one receiving entity, or (c) a combination thereof.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus associated with a receiving entity to perform at least the following, receive, via a network, telematics sensor data from telematics sensors of a plurality of autonomous vehicles; determine current locations and future locations of the autonomous vehicles in a grip map based on the telematics sensor data; determine one or more data requests specifying different data cacheability indicators per sensor for one or more of the telematics sensors of the autonomous vehicles located within one or more bounded geographic areas in the grip map based, at least in part, on whether currently available telematics sensor data meet one or more data requirements associated with the current locations and the future locations; transmit the one or more data requests to the one or more of the autonomous vehicles; and in response to the one or more data requests, receive additional telematics sensor data for assisted driving of one or more of the autonomous vehicles in the one or more bounded geographic areas. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
