In this paper, we propose a VANET architecture capable of securing anonymous data collection from a distributed set of autonomous vehicles. The proposed architecture features a hybrid combination of centralized and decentralized routing concepts. Unlike other VANET implementations, our proposed architecture allows lower latency by having a ad hoc routing option as well as greater availability via the centralized methods. The proposed architecture guarantees user anonymity within the VANET framework. Most VANET models assume most users do not value the privacy of their identity. We assume that each vehicle is equipped with a VANET computer capable of storing data, and that vehicles can communicate directly with each other and exchange data within short distances.
