Abstract : The integration of social networks into the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is emerging as a transformative element in the future of transportation. While IoV primarily focuses on the communication between vehicles, infrastructure, and users, social networks within this context add a layer of interactivity and collaboration that enhances the overall transportation experience. This paper explores the role of social networks in IoV, emphasizing how these platforms facilitate communication among drivers, vehicles, and surrounding infrastructure in real-time. Furthermore, the paper examines the challenges posed by privacy concerns, data security, and the need for interoperability between diverse platforms. Drawing on current research and emerging applications, this study highlights how social networks within IoV systems are reshaping the way people interact with vehicles and each other in the evolving transportation ecosystem. The paper concludes by exploring the potential of social IoV to drive future innovations, particularly in autonomous driving, smart cities, and connected mobility.

Keywords : IoV, Social Networks, SIoV, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X).
