Automakers campaign for car-to-car wireless network

"According to an article in the India Daily, six European auto manufacturers have launched a joint campaign to enable the cars of tomorrow to beam wireless warnings of danger to surrounding motorists."

This might make for some interesting automated gossiping. "Oh my god, that car in front of me just cut me off!" "Hey isn't that the car of your neighbor, and man was he going over the speed limit!" It's also interesting to think of how many groups we are regularly part who don't have the power to communicate. Cars on a freeway, groups walking down a street or in a theater, people on a train. We are still far from ubiquitous communication.
