        <description><![CDATA[As an IT professional, I can say that this needs to be further researched. Some WiFi car systems have already been hacked. A hacker could sit in a vehicle next to yours and send/received data to/from your car. A test was done to a WiFi communications system between 2 cars (American company, don't remember which). The friendly hacker made the other vehicle stop, reduce speed, etc., all from his computer.Technology has to get way better, and still, there would always instances in which these systems malfunction or are hacked. Imagine, having a car accident because your autonomous vehicle made a wrong decision (malfunction, or because it was hacked), scary.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The US government has been testing such evil systems for over a decade.There are 2 aspects to the notion:1. electronic systems have faster reaction times so we can pack more vehicles on the roads at any particular time2. we can track everyone, bwahahahaha!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I agree with AlanLaRue that there should be both P2P network and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. Vehicle-to-vehicle communication will make roads safer. Vehicle-to- road infrastructure connection will make traffic management and speed regulation more efficient. The future of driving is connected cars: connected to the cloud, to the city grid, to the road infrastructure and to other vehicles.http://www.call2collaborate.com/apps/blog/show/16330252-driving-connected-web-2-0-and-the-future-of-cars]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I use a GPS with a traffic receiver on my commute, and over the last few weeks the traffic service has been out 3 times. I realize that if a single-source of information were to become universal there would be some redundancy, but in reality most large-scale systems have occasional outages. A peer-to-peer network would avoid a total-failure scenario.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is already in place in the marine world. Commercial ships for years have had to have an AIS transponder. It transmits the ship hailing info as well as course and speed. This has started to expand into the recreational boating world starting with AIS receivers that show those ships on a chartplotter. The price for receivers and transponders is coming down and creeping more into the recreational boating realm.A lower powered automated system for cars just makes sense.]]></description>
