(QUOTED ENTIRELY FROM FUTURISTIC UPDATE APRIL 2010 OFWORLD FUTURE SOCIETY
NETWORKED CARS AND TRUCKS
An old automobile-safety message once advised, "Watch out for the other guy--he may not be watching out for you." Now, inter-vehicular networking may help us do just that. German researchers working with Volkswagen have created a radio- communication system enabling vehicles to contact each other. Dubbed C3World (Connected Cars in a Connected World), the system would, for instance, inform cars that an emergency vehicle is approaching the same intersection. Another aspect of the technology will be easier integration of new generations of mobile phones and music players--products that typically have short life spans and become obsolete almost as soon as vehicle manufacturers install them.
