As I was driving down the I-5 yesterday, before I had my little incident, I was thinking about how cool it would be if all cars had an on-board computer with WiFi and GPS support. Such a technology would have a couple of really neat uses.
The obvious use would be to create a wifi mesh network, with each car being a node. It won't work in some areas, but in open spaces like most highways, or in crowded streets in the city, you could easily create a mesh network and get blanket coverage inside all cars as well as 20-100 yards around a car (i.e. all along a road or highway). Basically, upstream packets would be sent in one direction (i.e. to the car in front of you) and relayed until a wifi AP with an Internet connection is reached (on major freeways, rest stops and gas stations can have one). Down stream packets are then passed in the opposite direction until it reaches the right car. Well, it might be a bit more complicated than that... but I'm sure it's possible.
Another obvious use might be to broadcast music, using something like iTunes' streaming feature, or perhaps even sharing your music collection. If you have a nice collection of music, or you start streaming music with better taste than most radio stations, you might find yourself in the middle of a motorcade, surrounded by listeners. Depending on the bandwidth available, you might even be able to share/stream movies to keep those kids in the back pacified.
Another use would be for inter-car communication. One example might be VoIP between cars, so if you pass a gagglemobile (er, a gagglemobile is a car with 3 or more hot women -or men, if you prefer- inside) you can try and talk to them. Inter-car communication might also be used to collision avoidance. For example, when you turn on your turn signal, it would automatically broadcast your intentions to the cars around you. With a little clever engineering, it also might be possible to have directed honks, so you can send honks (to be played in the car's internal speakers) at the dude that just cut you off, without scaring the bejesus out of everybody else.
Something I'd like to see soon in more cars, that isn't too far out there, is proximity sensors. I mean, turning your head to check your blind spots is, like, so 20th century. It'd be so much easier if you could have a little indicator telling you where the cars around you are. It would also be useful for parking in tight spots...
