Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are an emerging technology that has much potential development ahead of it. VANETs seek to connect devices contained within vehicles together to create services that are particularly relevant to a vehicular environment. They attempt to do so without relying on infrastructure devices to assist in the process of network topology management. This particular nature of VANETs leads them to provide both unique challenges and opportunities to investigate. This paper will seek to address the key features that define a VANET environment, while discussing what can be done with a VANET system. This paper will then investigate many different perspectives on VANETs, including historical perspectives and ideas for uses as well as more modern perspectives, and discuss how they have changed over time. Finally, this paper will investigate the current state of VANET technologies and discuss the current progress towards the successful deployment of these technologies in the real world.

车载自组织网络（VANET）是一种新兴技术，其发展潜力巨大。VANET试图将包含在车辆中的设备连接在一起，以创建与车辆环境特别相关的服务。他们试图这样做，而不依赖基础结构设备来协助网络拓扑管理过程。VANET的这种特殊性质使它们既提供了独特的挑战，也提供了调查的机会。本文将讨论定义VANET环境的关键功能，同时讨论VANET系统可以完成的工作。然后，本文将研究有关VANET的许多不同观点，包括历史观点和使用观念以及更现代的观点，并讨论它们随着时间的变化。最后，
