It seems as anonymous as current highway usage and vision. You can see a car while they are within eye-sight. In this proposal, your car can receive data about the other car while they are within about 300m. Once gone they are gone. I'm not seeing the leap to tracking and the loss of anonymity.
When using a better receiving antenna and demodulators and stuff and extending the range to 3000m, maybe you start to see the problem? It's 300m minimum for cars to see each other, which presumably is intended to work with reasonably cheap receivers. Chances are you can put one somewhat more advanced receiver somewhere in an average city and be able to track all vehicle movements.
