FORD RESEARCHERS ADVANCING CRASH AVOIDANCE CAPABILITY WITH WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY
Ford researchers are advancing vehicle safety with the development of new crash avoidance systems that use wireless vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications to detect and respond to imminent collisions
Ford’s research into wireless “active safety” applications includes its vehicle-to-infrastructure Smart Intersection project
Ford is conducting cooperative vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure research with industry and government partners to increase road safety and traffic efficiency
Globally harmonized standards are needed to enable global deployment of reliable and cost- effective vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure technology

Sunds like this is a ways off given standards challenge and meaningfull ramp-up, but Ford Global Technologies has already published patents on this in early May '10, so the ground is getting staked out already.
