There is a similarity and a discrepancy when comparing the low-power to
the high mobility constraints of 6lowpans and vehicular networks: both
would benefit if fewer messages were sent, and still vehicle networks 
are not so battery-limited as the sensors.

I think that is right.  Maintaining a mesh under is challenging in the 
vehicular scenarios.

I think RFC6775 has a form of distributing routes (router-to-router 
interactions) but I doubt it describes loop avoidance, which should be 
part of mesh under, right?

The section 5.6 needs more explanation.  Would you be interested?

Also, this would be a typical IPv6-over-foo document, and such as maybe 
we would not need to describe too much routing/meshing detail.
