RFID Car-To-Car Communications Next Big Thing

A report claims that future safety and telematics systems will need to use a dedicated wireless technology based on 802.11. Such systems will require a combination of what the report calls Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), which is based on 802.11, and RFID. Such systems would enable vehicles to broadcast data such as their location, identification and even enable in-car Internet access, the report said. Source: InformationWeek
