1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by an apparatus, telematics sensor data from telematics sensors of at least one autonomous vehicle associated with at least one transmitting entity;
specifying, by the apparatus, one or more prioritization attributes associated with the telematics sensors based on whether currently available telematics sensor data meet one or more data requirements associated with a current location of the at least one autonomous vehicle, a future location of the at least one autonomous vehicle, or a combination thereof, wherein the one or more prioritization attributes specify one or more parameters associated with one or more data-generating characteristics, one or more data-processing characteristics of the one or more sensors for the current location, the future location, or a combination thereof, and the one or more prioritization attributes specify different data cacheability indicators per sensor for the telematics sensors; and
initiating, by the apparatus, a transmission of a non-cacheable portion of the sensor data in real time via a network to at least one receiving entity for assisted driving of the at least one autonomous vehicle, and a caching of a cacheable portion of the sensor data in the at least one autonomous vehicle for a period of time prior to a batch transmission to the at least one receiving entity, based on the data cacheability indicators.

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 to perform at least the following, receive telematics sensor data from telematics sensors of at least one autonomous vehicle associated with at least one transmitting entity; specify one or more prioritization attributes associated with the telematics sensors based on whether currently available telematics sensor data meet one or more data requirements associated with a current location of the at least one autonomous vehicle, a future location of the at least one autonomous vehicle, or a combination thereof, wherein the one or more prioritization attributes specify one or more parameters associated with one or more data-generating characteristics, one or more data-processing characteristics of the one or more sensors for the current location, the future location, or a combination thereof, and the one or more prioritization attributes specify different data cacheability indicators per sensor for the telematics sensors; and initiate a transmission of a non-cacheable portion of the sensor data in real time via a network to at least one receiving entity for assisted driving of the at least one autonomous vehicle, and a caching of a cacheable portion of the sensor data in the at least one autonomous vehicle for a period of time prior to a batch transmission to the at least one receiving entity, based on the data cacheability indicators. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
