Not sure if any CWNP bloggers have any additional information on this desire by the NTSB (USA) to have "Wi-Fi like components" installed in vehicles to prevent accidents (translating data into hazard warnings for drivers).  Would this be a new 802.11 standard or leverage existing Wi-Fi technology or would it be out of the realm of 802.11?

*bump*

Given the propensity for the government to spy on its citizens, I'm sure they will make good use of the technology.
