[aprssig] Car Makers to Create Car to Car WLAN

[tvsjr at sprynet.com]

Heh, they're stealing our idea. We ran a car-to-car WLAN with full Internet connectivity last year during our Dayton road trip. Vehicle links were performed using 2.4GHZ 802.11b and 1.2GHZ D-STAR. Four vehicles took part in the network... the ridiculous part was the one vehicle required 3 RF hops and 3 router hops to reach the Internet.

To keep this APRS-related, we ran a mobile I-Gate as long as Internet connectivity was available (about 90% of the time, through an AT&T EDGE card).

That's kinda neat.... shame more people aren't hams here... we could do the same
thing with APRS.... the ultimate p2p network....

quote from the article:
With routing capabilities, the whole thing could become a huge 'automobile
Internet', with vehicles warning each other - and their drivers - about
slow-downs, bad weather, accidents and other road problems.
