1. A computer-implemented method for adapting a vehicle communication network range based on an awareness of vehicle speed, the method comprising:
identifying a plurality of devices within a recommended range of a vehicle;
obtaining a current driving environment from the plurality of devices;
calculating a required range for a communications network using a machine learning model based on the current driving environment and vehicle parameters associated with the vehicle, the current driving environment including roadway conditions, and determining required devices within the required range; and
dynamically creating the communications network when the required range is greater than the recommended range, wherein the communications network includes the vehicle, the plurality of devices within the recommended range and the required devices.
