Determining how to structure vehicular network environments can be done in various ways. Here, we highlight the evolution of vehicle networks from Vehicular Ad-Hoc NETworks (VANET) to the Internet of Vehicles (IoVs), listing their benefits and limitations. We also highlight the reasons to adopt wireless technologies, in particular, IEEE 802.11p and 5G vehicle-toeverything in such networks and as well as the use of paradigms able to store and analyze a vast amount of data to produce intelligence, and their applications in vehicular environments. We also correlate the use of each of these paradigms with the desire to meet existing Intelligent Transportation Systems’ requirements. The presentation of each paradigm is given from a historical and logical standpoint. In particular, Vehicular Fog Computing completes the gaps that Vehicular Cloud Computing seemed to have, so both are not exclusive from the application point of view. We also emphasize some security issues that are linked to the characteristics of these paradigms and/or vehicular networks, again verifying that because of what they are, they complement each other, hence sharing problems and limitations. As these networks still have many opportunities to grow, whether conceptual or applicational, we finally remember concepts and technologies that we believe are beneficial, and that will enrich them. Throughout this work, we emphasize the crucial role of these concepts for the well-being of mankind.
