Connected vehicles
The program being developed in Michigan is called Connected Vehicle and uses radio frequencies that Cisco now wants for WiFi use. If Congress grants Cisco's request and reallocates the spectrum it can cost over 33,000 needles deaths each year. So, the question is if having more spectrum for WiFi is worth a life. Write your congress critters and tell them not to reallocate the DSRC spectrum.
