Roadcasting?

Daniel Teriman reports in Wired News that
researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are developing an ad hoc networking system for cars that would allow any driver to broadcast music to any other vehicle within a 30-mile radius. . . vehicles with built-in 802.11p could serve as nodes in mesh networks and send each other safety notifications in case of accidents, or potential accidents. Acting as nodes in a mesh, each car would extend the network's signal a mile at a time.

Talk about mobile computing!

Comments:
I am already looking for a hack so instead of sending him music, I can let him know what a terrible driver I think he is....adds a whole new dimension to Road Rage.
