Well, this article isn’t talking about that kind of network, but it is talking about a communication and relationship network between cars to help detect and alert authorities about thefts, collisions, and more.

Most ideas related to interconnected clusters of objects/entities usually trigger (at least) my passing interest. What I find most interesting about networked cars is the social and p2p possibilities, sending text messages to “the car in front of you”, browsing their music, etc. I hate being in cars, but the sci-fi aspects can be fun to imagine.
