1. A computer-implemented method for rule-based management of vehicles, the computer-implemented method comprising:
generating priority scores based on received sensor feeds from a vehicle, co-located vehicles, and a smart contract rule;
assigning the priority scores to the vehicle and the co-located vehicles;
identifying that an assigned priority score of the vehicle is higher than the co-located vehicles;
managing an operation of the co-located vehicles through respective computing devices within the co-located vehicles based on the smart contract rule and the priority scores; and
creating a priority lane for the vehicle by repositioning the co-located vehicles.
