A communication system is required for Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS) applications. Given that vehicles will count by hundred millions and have a life expectancy of ten years or more and also that technologies are always involving, it is considered that the communication system must be based on IPv6 and its associated protocols in order to scale and meet future needs. Recent work at the IETF and particularly on NEMO (Network Mobility) and MANET (ad-hoc networking) clearly support this belief. Such mechanisms are embedded into our autonomous electric car developed at INRIA (CyCab). NEMO is used for vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications andMANET for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications.
