Panel discussion at MINEMA Summer School, Klagenfurt, Austria, July 11-15, 2005.
Technologies for ad hoc networking will enable car companies to include new safety and communication features into their cars. For example, highly efficient accident warnings are possible: Cars involved in an accident can send warning messages back over a defined number of other vehicles, thus avoiding motorway pileups. We could also envision person-to-person applications using ad hoc communication between vehicles (e.g., simple text messaging, game communities, or even hop-by-hop telephony).
The goal of this panel is to discuss potential and feasible applications, technology and research challenges, visions, roadmaps, and risks of such scenarios. Each of the panelists will give a 5-10 minute statement, followed by a 20-minute discussion with questions from the audience.
