gollark: Given that they're... physically near each other, presumably.
gollark: For communication between cars, it seems odd to have them all link back to a tower.
gollark: So having anything which works by streaming vast amounts of data all the time does not seem smart.
gollark: They need to be able to operate independently of the network, or everything will go horribly wrong if they go into a tunnel, or there's a temporary outage.
gollark: Honestly it doesn't seem useful for *that*, either.
