Who are we trying to kid about there being no need for a connection to
the Internet?
FYI A consortium in the Netherlands have just announced a scheme that is
planning to link in-car navigation systems with traffic control and
information systems, and also public transport systems, so that if
there's a traffic jam and it is going to be faster to take the train
than drive, the car driver will be redirected to the nearest train
station. The system should even being able to reserve a car parking spot
on the fly in advance. They expect a prototype in October. The idea
being that coordinated transport reduces the need for infrastructure
spending. And I know of at least one group who have been experimenting
with car-car and car-infra communication.

Hi,
it seems that there is currently not much interest in ULA-Cs (centrally
assigned ULAs). I came across several use cases, where manufacturers
(e.g, those of cars, airplanes, or smart metering environments)
would need internal/closed IPv6-based networks (maybe only for internal
control and management), that have no connection to the Internet.
