  • identifying a first triggering event of a vehicle with a static device tag;

    establishing, in response to the first triggering event of the vehicle with the static device tag, a first key for the device, wherein the first key is based on a first status of the vehicle and the first status of the vehicle relates to a characteristic of the vehicle over a period of time;

    generating, by using a hashing technique on a combination of the first key and the static device tag, a first anonymous identifier of the vehicle for anonymously identifying the vehicle on a first wireless V2V network; and

    providing, to the first wireless V2V network, a second status of the vehicle together with the first identifier, wherein the second status of the vehicle relates to the state of the vehicle to anonymously coordinate with other vehicles on the first wireless V2V network.
