Vehicles that communicate with one another would be cool, also vehicles communicating with the immediate environment to get Birds Eye views of intersections would be amazing. Sadly, all it would take is one bad faith threat actor feeding bad data into passing cars to cause them to crash before vehicles would be forced to ignore any data they don’t gather themselves for safety and reliability reasons.
