Has anything been said about an open protocol for inter-car communication? What about sharing point cloud data?
I have a bad feeling that Google is going to keep everything sealed in Google Maps. The industry would benefit from sharing all of their data with OpenStreetMap.
- icebraining 12y agoHas anything been said about an open protocol for inter-car communication? Yes: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/03/us-autos-technology-rules-idUSBREA1218M20140203 http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/03/us-autos-technolog... But I don't think it's for mapping, just safety.

- Qworg 12y agoAll of those things? Plus the new StreetView cars are running LIDAR as well. Major projects like this have a ton of hardware limitations.
- songgao 12y agoA lot of companies are working on WAVE/DSRC. Here's a demo from Volvo: http://youtu.be/tasa3D1vVTc http://youtu.be/tasa3D1vVTc And yes the safety applications like emergency brake, intersection collision warning, or curve speed warning etc., have high priority but other Applications like mapping are also possible. I think current mapping applications use road side infrastructures (also through DSRC) but I guess you could share traffic information (Waze?) using inter-vehicle communication. Here's an technical paper if anybody is interested: http://secs.oakland.edu/~gpcorser/vanet-kenny-DSRC.pdf http://secs.oakland.edu/~gpcorser/vanet-kenny-DSRC.pdf
