To which I point out the quote from the article:

In Japan, for instance, some of the taxis have IPv6 addresses in their windscreen wipers. When taxies turn on their wipers, the cab company knows and can send lots of cabs to the area because it’s raining.

So, why would this be happening, and why didn't it happen sooner if IPv4 could handle it?
And why assume a home network can't be altered to accept multiple signals from IP-enabled devices?
