1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a first node in a vehicle networking system, a first set of processed sensor data transmitted by a second node in the vehicle networking system, the first set of processed sensor data having been generated by the second node as a result of the second node performing a first portion of a data processing algorithm based on a first set of raw sensor data captured by a first set of sensors operatively coupled to the second node, the first set of processed sensor data comprising:
a copy of at least some portion of the first set of raw sensor data; and
a first set of additional data generated by the second node based on the at least some portion of the first set of raw sensor data;
validating the first set of additional data from the first set of processed sensor data using the copy from the first set of processed sensor data, the first set of processed sensor data being larger in size than the first set of raw sensor data; and
performing, by the first node in the vehicle networking system, a second portion of the data processing algorithm based on the first set of processed sensor data received from the second node, yielding a first set of processed aggregated sensor data.
