【Abstract】The Fifth Generation (5G) communication technology has paved the way for intelligent and diversified Internet of Connected Vehicles (IoCV) services that meet stringent Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Both Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain are playing and will continue to play an imperative role in providing secure and decentralized resource sharing to solve complex and time-sensitive problems at the edge. The integration of both those techniques will enhance the performance of smart vehicular services, especially in beyond 5G (B5G) networks. Ensuring secure transactions in complex autonomous network architectures is an immense challenge. This article addresses computational, storage, connectivity and intelligence concerns using a collaborative approach to engage multiple Internet of Things (IoT) nodes such as connected- vehicles, drones and mobile devices for the provisioning of QoS-optimal complex service compositions in autonomous mobile networks. Continuous and fast compositions emerge using decentralized decisions and interactions with diversified neighboring nodes with the aid of reinforcement learning. Blockchain is used to ensure that nodes interact with each other verifiably and record transactions without the need for trusted intermediaries. We assess whether having an AI-enabled blockchain collaborative composition solution improves service availability and delivery of smart city vehicular services.
