From Gizmodo -
UCLA has teamed up with automobile makers BMW and Toyota to develop a P2P filesharing network called CarTorrent which lets cars communicate through 5.9GHz wireless LAN over ranges of 100-300 meters. During its first implementation (due 2012), the system will communicate navigation info, various media and surveillance. Eventually, it could be used for emergencies as well, allowing car computers to sync in split-second decision territory where individual drives could fail.
The system is expected to cost an additional $500 premium.
