With regards to point #2, do you really think that multiple manufactures will be able to agree on a single vehicle to vehicle communication protocol that is robust enough to sort out shifting around a parking lot? Or would the parking lot have the infrastructure that communicates to the cars? It doesn't seem an insurmountable task either way.
- MikeCapone 8y agoA lot of things are regulated on the road. This kind of communication protocol could be one of them.

- clairity 8y agothose protocols were developed when the internet was much smaller and (mostly) in the control of researchers & technologists. now, we have multi-billion/trillion dollar entities jostling for control over a multi-billion/trillion dollar industry. how's that for a reason?
- maemilius 8y agoI would direct you to the numerous things that _are_ standard on automobiles. For example, CAN bus[1] which is used in almost every single car you'll encounter these days and is what allows their modern electronics to communicate with each other. The auto industry is fully capable of standardizing on something when it's mutually beneficial for them to do so. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN_bus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN_bus
