Smart and connected communities are envisioned to include millions of sensors and devices tied together through the Internet. This has ushered the demand to investigate intensive communication and computing solutions for their realization to facilitate human life. Connected vehicles can be considered as a significant realm of the smart and connected communities. This paper presents the importance and challenges of Software-Defined Networks (SDN) for providing better network management in smart and connected vehicles. We also describe the significance and challenges in embracing cloud, edge and fog computing for processing enormous amount of data generated from the network of interconnected vehicles. Further, a portrayal of some of the open research issues for better realization of the connected world is provided.
