In the future, we could use some sort of traffic management system, were cars which conform to a standard are able to 'link-up' and move as one unit like a train, it would relieve alot of the stop and go and improve flow on congested roads, possibly with denser traffic. I'd bet alot of daily commuters woild subscribe to something like that.
That was planned a very long time ago. It was too early, and we completely squandered it. Now the spectrum allocated for V2V it is gone.
