Cool.... I have a work security fob that if its near car fobs it can be wiped; which is a pain as I cant log in to work and they have to mail a new one.

Did it 4 times before I found out - doh.

Not so far off! The next generation information and navigation systems will have WiFi built in to talk to other cars on the road in a 500m proximity to relay real time traffic speeds, weather and other info apparently!

Quote from here:

GPS tracks the position of the car while sensor data from the car - such as speed, direction, road conditions and if the windscreen wipers are on and if the brakes have been stamped on - is monitored by the on-board computer.

A wireless system similar to existing wi-fi technology - based on the 802.11p protocol - transmits and receives data to and from nearby cars, creating an ad-hoc network. Data hops from car to car and the on-board computers can build a picture of road and traffic conditions based on information from multiple vehicles across a great distance.

I would have the offending car towed, crushed, cubed then recycled into something eminently more useful like coke cans or street lamps.
As for the driver, chain him to one of those 17 century street stocks fore a day or two and let the affected victim chuck their rubbish at him.

There, feel better already...
