What might you do with access to UWB radio transmissions if you had a receiver in a car?


It's funny that this came up when it did. In another class we were talking about "Guerilla Radio."  People would set up a radio transmission from their apartment and broadcast for really no wider than a couple of blocks. There would be almost a cult-like following on the block. This illegal practice would operate on used channels The major problem of course though is clogging up the band width and interfering with channels on their side. 


But I think UWB is a radio wouldn't be practical in this situation. If I were a genius and it was 2030, maybe UWB could be used in every car to "feel" the positions of every car....like in Minority Report :). I suppose these days UWB may be what is used for car fobs that lock, unlock, pop the trunk.  


One of my co-workers at Tradeshowdirect bought a remote control helicopter that can be controlled on an iPhone with a 200 foot range. I'm just waiting for the Aston Martin Driveing App inspired by James Bond.
