RE: Vehicle Location Information

I guess vehicle.acceleration (4.9.18) is in the same case,  there is very probably already this API somewhere in W3C APIs.
Concerning vehicle.temperature, as we consider inside vehicle and outside vehicle, I guess we can keep them as fully vehicle oriented.
All other vehicle interface are, for me, fully vehicle oriented.
To be discussed tomorrow or next week.
Best regards

On principle, I think I would have to say no, we don't need a specific
one if vehicle.vehicleSpeed and position.coords.speed are identical.

I propose we add something like the following section to the spec:

Relationship with other W3C APIs

Other W3C APIs can be used to supplement the Vehicle Information API.
It is assumed that in a vehicle implementation, these other APIs will
provide vehicle attributes.  For example, vehicle speed and location
information is provided by the Geolocation API.  [other examples?].
It is also assumed that these APIs will be implemented using data from
the vehicle.
