Feature: Drive-by-wireless: why the future of cars is P2P mesh, 4G cellular, and the cloud

In this four-part series, Ars Technica takes an in-depth look at the future of driving. This is a topic we've covered in the past, but recent developments in wireless and consumer electronics are poised to have a huge impact on automotive technology.
