Ford Considers Mesh Wi-Fi Car Network

"Existing in-car systems currently use established wireless broadband networks, but Ford is considering embedding vehicles with technology turning each car into part of a massive Wi-Fi mesh network."

Should have seen it coming! For years now the developing standard for next-generation Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) has envisioned roadside APs every several hundred yards along all transportation corridors. Mesh technology could bring a lot to the party -- at least in an urban environment.

And a heads-up for those with the ITS bug: A Joint ISO/ITU Workshop on Standards on ITS Communications will take place on 24 August 2011 in Kyoto, Japan
