In this paper the goal is to provide the vehicle a minimum set of simple tasks, and allow it to be largely guided by the smartness of the infrastructure. This vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) connectivity is emphasized as the basic building block to ultimately (perhaps indirectly) achieve vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) coordination. Assuming that every vehicle has a built-in set of embedded systems which perform intelligent actions, such as location sensing, Anti-lock Braking System, and Lane Change Warning System, it is shown that a collision-free coordinated motion of vehicles can be achieved by designing a network of autonomic Traffic Managers (TM), where each TM manages vehicles using its own resources such as real-time controllers, arbiters, and other external actuators. Being autonomic a TM will have the ability to reconfigure the system owned by it, protect itself from unauthorized attacks and repair itself in order to minimize its downtime.
