That doesn't mean all the systems within the car need to speak to the outside world. The engine thermometer doesn't care about traffic or the location of the nearest train station. It just needs to tell the dashboard its current read-out. I presume those are the kinds of systems the OP was referring to.

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. regards, RayH > Message: 3 > Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 15:36:31 +0200 > From: Roland Bless<roland.bl...@kit.edu> > To: 6man<ipv6@ietf.org> > Subject: Centrally assigned "ULAs" for automotives and other > environments > Message-ID:<4e81d15f.6090...@kit.edu> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15 > > Hi, > > it seems that there is currently not much interest in ULA-Cs (centrally > assigned ULAs).
