This seems to be a more specific instance of WoT. As such, the goals are much clearer here. While some of the concerns with the WoT charter apply (security in particular!), here are a few additional observations:
Exposing the level of information that they claim to want to expose needs more privacy treatment than just a casual mention of the PIG. Websockets? Protocol? Both of these are red flags. Protocol development is an entirely different game to APIs and the choice of websockets makes me question the judgment of the people involved. Of particular concern is how the group intends to manage interactions with SOP. Do they intend to allow the web at large to connect to parts of the car? The security architecture is worrying in its lack of detail. If this proceeds, the naming choice (wwwivi) will have to change. It is not OK to register a new GTLD (see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6761). A similar mistake was made recently in the IETF, and it was ugly. For people interested in the gory details, I can provide more details offline. On Tue, Oct 18, 2016 at 6:32 AM, L.
