Claims20
Device, comprising:
- at least one computer memory that is not a transitory signal and that comprises instructions executable by at least one processor to:
- present on a display a user interface (UI), the UI indicating a location of the device on which the UI is presented, along with locations of plural vehicles in a wireless network that includes a vehicle in which the UI is presented, the locations of the other vehicles being received through the wireless network;
- upload to the wireless network at least one vehicle parameter representing at least one parameter of the vehicle;
- wherein vehicle parameters of vehicles in the wireless network are uploaded to at least one network server such that plural wireless networks among vehicles can be dynamically formed to track in real-time vehicle parameters and provide traffic information to aid in collision avoidance and/or rerouting around traffic areas.

Device, comprising:
- at least one computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by a processor;
- and
- at least one processor configured for accessing the computer readable storage medium to execute the instructions to configure the processor to:
- present on a display of a vehicle a user interface (UI) including indicia of slow-moving objects nearby the vehicle, the indicia comprising a warning of the presence of such slow-moving objects to aid in collision avoidance.
