1. A user equipment (UE) of a first autonomous vehicle (AV), comprising:
a network interface configured to perform vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) or Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) network communications with an autonomous vehicle distributed network (AVDN); and
at least one processor configured to:
identify a service condition based on a state of a service and connectivity to an instance of the service in an infrastructure network;
establish a connection in the AVDN to a second UE at a second AV in response to the service condition, using the V2V or V2X network communications, the AVDN further to provide connectivity between the UE and the second UE for use of the service; and
perform a service operation with the service via the AVDN, using the connection to the second UE.
