Right now we are well before the knee, at chicken and egg. Once a critical mass of devices is reached....

Yeah, no yourself, that isn't what the post described. That framework's basically a system of dedicated transponders and transmitters signaling between vehicles, infrastructure, etc. He's proposing a signal that would cut into someone's headphones and overriding the content that's being listened to (not clear by blasting the signal in the bluetooth frequency of the headphones or forcing the signal into the phone somehow). Not an expert on this, by any means, but I'd bet money there's no way to do that without running afoul of all sorts of statutes and regulations regarding deliberate interference with radio signals.
