IBM released report of top 5 innovation predictions and that mentions a smart car - "There is an enormous amount of computing power in cars today...I think the logical extension of that is to have a set of sensors on cars, and have those sensors communicate with networks and other cars on the road."
It is important that technology is brought into cars to make them more safer, if sensors can study the road condition and traffic and alter driver or automatically turn on the safety features it can reduce the no. of accidental deaths in the country. If i remeber correctly the figure in India alone is 350000/year.
The question that comes to my mind is that in countries where traffic is more disciplines and organised it is easier to write programs and do simulation, but what would happen in a country like India where there is little or no traffic dicipline. Let's wait and watch!
