I propose that the follow elements be added to the Data Spec.  Thoughts?

Barometric Pressure - current exterior barometric pressure
Brake Pedal Depressed - whether brake pedal is depressed or not
Wheel Speed - zoned? - speed of each wheel

Is this similar to WheelTick?  or more abstract?  Should WheelSpeed
replace WheelTick?

—wheel tick is rotation count.  wheel speed is the actual speed of the wheel in kph.


Ignition On Time - time ignition came on
Ignition Off Time - time ignition went off

Would this be a timestamp (DOMTimestamp)?

I think so.


Yawrate - yawrate


In addition to these, I would like to add the following:

DrivingMode - This abstract attribute uses things like speed and gear
(and possibly other attributes) to convey whether or not the system is
safe to use by the driver.  Use case would be if the developer wants
to disable certain functions in the app in order to prevent the driver
from being distracted.

NightMode - Abstract property that uses one or more sensors to convey
to the app whether or not it's night time or not.  Use case would be
to change the UI theme of the app if it is night time.

We are also curiously missing button events for the steering wheel, etc.
