Transportation technology and digital privacy

New transportation has vehicles with wireless communications, so the personal security of the driver must be protected. Fortunately, digital traffic management only needs some bare anonymous information about the vehicle, namely what class vehicle and where is it headed. The only time identity is revealed is during the purchase of traffic space.

There is no breech of personal security until money is exchanged.

For the engineers, the consumer is hoping for a mobility based communications link protocol which carries most of the traffic application layer.
