1. A method, comprising:
- acquiring image sensor data proximate to a vehicle;
digitally compressing the sensor data while maintaining image information therein;
producing a movement dependent output representing at least a position of a vehicle;
bidirectionally wirelessly communicating current information comprising the compressed image sensor data and a respective position associated with the sensor data; and
presenting an output to a user of the vehicle in dependence on;
(a) a position of the vehicle determined based on at least said movement dependent output;
(b) an intended path of the vehicle;
(c) current information comprising at least information dependent on a position and a speed of other vehicles determined based on information derived from transmissions of other vehicles and compressed image sensor data; and
(d) a map database.
