Thanks for the pointer, I am discovering OBD.  We are also interested in
wireless usage of IP within the vehicle, with off-the-shelf links (i.e.
consumer electronics market wifi, bluetooth, ant) together with OBD if
needed.

Excellent requirement to IP.

Hmm... sounds as good idea.  But there may be several IP addresses
within a vehicle, one for the obu, one for map device, etc.

In case one would like to map VIN to an IPv6 address one would consider
first an Interface Identifier of the IPv6 address. (rightmost 64 bits).

Interface Identifier is about an Interface, and I am not sure VIN is
about an interface, or is it. (like Interface is the Ethernet interface
of this pc).

Hmm..?  What do you mean?  Has VIN been mapped to some reserved IPv4
address?

Well definitely I am interested to hear what the idea is about and what
the mapping could look like.

I am interested on everything about how to connect vehicles (cars,
buses, trains) to the Internet with IPv6.

FYI, the MEXT working group has discussed several times about vehicles
ans Internet, with protocol Mobile IPv6 and various extensions.  A
number of people are actively involved.  A specific "vehicular reqs"
draft exists expired in MEXT, as well as some solution individual drafts
(non wg item) for v2v communications.
