Imagine we gave life to inanimate objects and those objects could speak to each other and us. As you described, our car would speak to a charging station. The charging station would advertise "I can charge you for a fee!" And the car could say "charge me here is money". Forget the "internet" of things, these objects only need to speak to other objects in their "domain". Imagine it like this: you walk down a street towards a sitting dog. Once you get close, the dog looks at you and observes you walking by. Once your sufficiently far away, the dog looks away and you're no longer in its domain. Have you thought about the " language" for this inter object communication? Essentially the "api". Words like "charge" and "you" and "money" in my example.

Exactly, this is a component of what we're planning. We'd need agents constantly updating their interfaces, locations, and all sensor data simultaneously. Also building some corpus of ontologies for these systems needs to exist -- and we're hoping to make it a community effort (a la freebase), as well as the recipes for actions between disparate systems or at least some reasonable way to address/connect the commonalities between interfaces. Next will be developing artificial intuition, being able to connect interfaces in new and thoughtful ways to produce some interesting/undiscovered/unsupervised outcome.
