The Nokia project is called "Mobile Century." The project was tested in California with the help of 100 UC Berkeley students. Nokia says it compares to the traffic monitoring systems offered by XM, Sirius, Google and Yahoo. It works by monitoring and sending out data regarding speed and position to other phones in the network.
