1. A computing system, comprising:
communication circuitry;
memory circuitry to store program code of a connection selection function, wherein the connection selection function is a system layer function that is below an application layer of the computing system; and
processor circuitry connected with the memory circuitry and the communication circuitry, wherein the processor circuitry is to operate the connection selection function to:
obtain a connection selection policy from a set of mobility service providers (MSPs) via a first interface between the computing system and individual MSPs of the set of MSPs;
obtain access network (AN) information about a set of ANs via a second interface between the computing system and individual ANs of the set of ANs, wherein the first interface is different than the second interface;
select, based on the AN information and according to the connection selection policy, individual ANs of the set of ANs to provide network connectivity for a vehicle system prior to and during movement of the vehicle system; and
initiate, via the communication circuitry, connection establishment with the selected ANs as the individual ANs become available to the vehicle system.
