- Ford recently demonstrated a “short-range” Wi-Fi network that allows vehicles to communicate in a private cloud with other vehicles.
- One key application is to alert drivers of potential crash situations in time to allow them to respond. The cloud technology has significant advantages over radar systems.
- The technology could also enable communication with a traffic management system to help avoid traffic jams, thereby saving time and fuel.
- Ford hopes to have its intelligent car technology in production as early as 2013.

Interesting article Dennis. I thought the “cloud park” idea was compelling, especially for those traveling in and out of crowded cities.
