1. A vehicle data management system for managing storing of data before usage of at least a first vehicle, the vehicle data management system comprises:
at least a first electronic device for managing a reservation of the at least first vehicle;
at least a first vehicle memory for storing local data in the at least first vehicle; and
a processing circuitry operatively connected to the at least first vehicle memory and the at least first electronic device configured to cause the vehicle data management system to:
receive an indication of at least a first user library data file desired to be locally stored in the at least first vehicle memory for future use by a user;
determine if the at least first user library data file matches at least a first vehicle library data file already stored in the at least first vehicle memory wherein the at least first user library data file and the at least first vehicle library data file are identified by meta data that is associated with the at least first user library data file and the at least first vehicle library data file respectively; and
download, to the at least first vehicle memory, the at least first user library data file not already stored in the at least first vehicle memory of the at least first vehicle; and
wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to cause the vehicle data management system to:
receive a request for reservation of the at least first vehicle for future use of the at least first vehicle by a user; and
determine availability of the at least first vehicle based on the request for reservation of the at least first vehicle and based on at least a first match of the at least a first user library data file and the at least a first vehicle library data file already stored in the at least first vehicle memory.
