Abstract: Various technologies and techniques are disclosed that allow passengers in one vehicle to communicate with passengers of another vehicle. Vehicles can have a computer, transceiver, and one or more antennae that enable vehicle-to-vehicle communications. The computer allows the user to select the particular direction, such as front or back, of the close proximity vehicle to communicate with. The communication is then transmitted using a transceiver and antenna of the first vehicle to an antenna and transceiver of the second vehicle.

Abstract: Mobile communication devices are interfaced with sports equipment that include at least one embedded sensor. The sensor may be a variety of different sensors, including, but not limited to: 3D acceleration sensors, pressure sensors, temperature sensors; humidity sensors; wind speed sensors; pressure sensors; and the like. Data that relates to the sensor measurements are transmitted wirelessly from the sports equipment to another device that may analyze the data. This device may be a mobile device, such as a mobile phone, or a wired device, such as a desktop computer. The data may be transmitted through one or more networks.
