"The idea is to aggregate data from hundreds of cars in just a small handful of cars, which then upload it to the Internet." - What daata will they be uploading? How fast you're going? How much emissions your car is giving out? "The problem, of course, is that the layout of a network of cars is constantly changing in unpredictable ways." - I just think that's cool. Will be interesting to see what can be done with that if/when they can utilize this whole car-wifi-network thing. I have no idea, to be honest, what the real world application of this is.
