Hi,

I don't know such software in the non-commercial world. But if you
write your own, I may help with protocolls.

One of the things I'm
writing for Traveling Salesman is a web-service to collect traffic
information. A next step for me would then be to make a general
protcoll that can carry much more data (like vehicle-positions,
routes or voice-chat between multiple vehicles in a convoy).
So we may make the protocolls between cars, servers and desktop-
clients open and general enough so they can be supported by and
usefully for many others here.
