Re: All vehicles within 4 years?

But even to send the data (not be self driving) any car more than 10 years old doesn't have the data to send. There is no steering angle sensor, no brake data, no computerised engine management to know the speed and no canbus to collect the data. Even newer cars with canbus might not have steering and braking data if they don't have power steering or ABS.

It also seems to be one of those technologies that isn't useful unless nearly all cars have it. Like marine AIS - it's great but you can't base a course on it if that crowd of sailing boats in front of the harbor don't have it.
