1. A system for communicating a signal in a vehicle, the system comprising:

  • an electrically conductive hydraulic line electrically coupled to a common ground;

    a set of transducers,wherein a first transducer from the set of transducers includes a sonic sensor and a sonic transmitter to configure the first transducer to, respectively, sense or transmit the signal through the electrically conductive hydraulic line;

    at least one medium for propagating the signal wirelessly;

    wherein a second transducer of the set of the set of transducers includes at least one communication device is configured to receive the from the first transducer through the electrical conductive hydraulic line via a sonic sensor of the second transducer,wherein in response to the second transducer receiving the signal via the electrically conductive hydraulic line, the second transducer is configured to transmit the signal through the electrical conductive line via a respective sonic transmitter to another transducer of the set of transducers,wherein a respective communication device of the another transducer receives the signal via its respective sonic sensor from the second transducer,wherein each of the communication device and the respective communication device comprises a transceiver configured to perform on the signal at least one of filtering, error detection and correction, and deletion of information which can cannot be corrected; and

    at least one vehicle component in communication with at least one of the communication device and the respective communication device; and

    wherein the at least one vehicle component is electrically coupled to the common ground.
