    If this could be tied in to your detector and navigation it would be genius. Detector alerts (IDEALLY multiple directional detectors (V1s) alert in different cars and are triangulated), navigation gives you a GPS fix, and then the data is disseminated to the other cars, giving you a realtime readout of all active radar hits in your area.

    If your speed were calculated/detected and transmitted every time you exceeded the PSL, and then the LEOs were alerted...no, it would be bad. We would probably get used to jamming our own systems

    all fun and good, but think about the COST of said networking, that in itself would probably be a big turn-off

    wifi in cars is a horrible idea. Crashes would go through the roof because people would be watching porn in rush-hour traffic...
