Italics added – as this "deployment" will, as always, be not a matter of our choosing it.

"The Plan, initially released in draft form for public comment in October of last year, is focused on road safety, mobility, and efficiency through technology that enables vehicles and wireless devices to communicate with each other and with roadside infrastructure. These technologies can enable a more safe, secure, and efficient transportation system. . ."

Italics added, again.  

"Enabling"? This is like when the government "asks" for something – like a "fair share" of what you worked for. Enabling – in formerly honest language – used to mean a capability; not that it would necessarily be used – and that you'd have a choice about whether it would be used.

We will have no choice when the DOT "deploys" the "vehicle to vehicle connectivity" that has already been piece-by-piece embedded in most new and recently made vehicles. They all now have pieces of "vehicle to vehicle connectivity," including the ability to receive updates over the air; to transmit data about the vehicle's current location as well as its speed.

They are already, in other words, "connected."

Now it is just a matter of "connecting" them  to – as the DOT says – "each other and roadside infrastructure."

The latter word italicized to call attention to the deliberately bland and non-specific language. What "infrastructure" is being referred to here? Could it be automated license plate readers? Could it be speed cameras? Could it be a web of interconnectedness that makes it impossible to "speed" – or even to change lanes, unless the web of "connectivity" says you may?

The answer is – of course. Exactly. Because that is what is necessary – so they say – to "enable a more safe, secure, and efficient transportation system."

Italics are hardly necessary.
