What measures are in place to ensure data security and privacy in the wireless network connections?

The patent application does not address data security and privacy concerns related to the wireless network connections used for communication between vehicles.


Original Abstract Submitted

An embodiment vehicle includes a signal transmission part configured to transmit a signal for wireless network connection to an outside of a shaded area where a global positioning system (GPS) signal is not received based on the vehicle having entered the shaded area and a positioning part configured to communicate with another vehicle located outside the shaded area and receiving the signal and to calculate a relative position of the vehi
