In other words, LPNs are regarded as telephone numbers. In this way, CarTalk facilitates communication among people who can see each other. So as to achieve this, machine vision techniques are binded to network messaging to cast the very CarTalk ecosystem. This paper presents the steps taken to implement CarTalk approach in Android platform. This is not the end of CarTalk and more viable future applications of this concept will be discussed at the conclusions section of this paper.
