For a number if years engineers have been working on systems for vehicles to communicate with each other. This would help greatly when a car is about to swerve into your lane or is going too fast to stop at a stoplight.

Here is my concept using Google Wave as a platform. * Each block of a city would have it's own wave address.

* When a vehicle comes within a 2 block radius it is added to that wave. * Using the instant communications capability of the wave all information could be communicated including:

* Vehicle speed * Vehicle position * Vehicle direction * Traffic light states (each traffic light would have it's own address). As the vehicle would be communicating with multiple waves, there would be overlap of information. This would speed up hand off between blocks.

If an accident were to occur the police etc. would be notified by a wave. Navigation systems would be updated to account for the accidentand reroute.

As waves area stored, the information in it could be used as evidence for accidents, analyzing driving techniques and traffic patterns.
