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.
