That sounds like a world that'll be great as long as you're in a car, and terrible if you're a pedestrian or cyclist. Kind of like the world we've got now, except with even more victim blaming.

Cars communicating with one another means that they will prioritise QoS for one another, and pedestrian safety will be, as ever it has been, an afterthought—at least as long as there's more penalty for damaging a person's car than for injuring the person themselves.
