Universal vehicular communication promises many improvements in
terms of ac- dent avoidance and mitigation, better utilization of
roads and resources such as time and fuel, and new opportunities
for infotainment applications. However, before widespread
acceptance, vehicular communication must meet challenges comparable
to the trouble and disbelief that accompanied the introduction of
traf c lights back then. The rst traf c light was installed in 1868
in London to signal railway, but only later, in 1912, was invented
the rst red-green electric traf c light. And roughly 50 years after
the rst traf c light, in 1920, the rst four-way traf c signal
comparable to our today's traf c lights was introduced. The
introduction of traf c signals was necessary after automobiles soon
became prevalent once the rst car in history, actually a wooden
motorcycle, was constructed in 1885. Soon, the scene became
complicated, requiring the introduction of the "right-of-way"
philosophy and later on the very rst traf c light. In the same way
the traf c light was a necessary mean to regulate the beginning of
the automotive life and to protect drivers, passengers, as well as
pedestrians and other inhabitants of the road infrastructure,
vehicular communication is necessary to accommodate the further
growth of traf c volume and to signi cantly reduce the number of
accidents.
