-- what happens in front (accident, lane closure, dangerous object - debris, oncoming vehicle, road block, stationary vehicle, flood, pothole etc.)
-- what is best route (which lane is faster, any exit lanes)
-- is the destination ready (gate/garage door opened, some one already waiting)

- Emergency Mode
-- as signal booster (WiFi, 3G/4G extender)
-- display distress signal on the sky
-- carry oxigen tube if car goes underwater
-- connect to electrical point / fuel pump thru a flexible pipe
