1. An automotive vehicle comprising:
- a modem configured to detect a wireless signal strength in a vicinity of the vehicle;
an antenna; and
a processor operatively arranged with the modem and antenna, and configured to (i) buffer records of vehicle information created at a scheduled acquisition rate, (ii) buffer event files of vehicle information created upon the occurrence of predetermined triggering events, (iii) cause the buffered records to be wirelessly transmitted via the antenna on a last-in first-out basis if the signal strength is greater than a first predetermined threshold, and (iv) cause the buffered files to be wirelessly transmitted via the antenna if the signal strength is greater than a second predetermined threshold.

Abstract
An automotive vehicle may include a processor configured to buffer records of vehicle information created at a scheduled acquisition rate, and to buffer event files of vehicle information created upon the occurrence of predetermined triggering events. The processor may be further configured to cause the buffered records to be wirelessly transmitted on a last-in first-out basis if a signal strength in a vicinity of the vehicle is greater than a first predetermined threshold, and to cause the buffered files to be wirelessly transmitted if the signal strength is greater than a second predetermined threshold.
