How many cars are in this scene? Did a care move in front of you and brake or have you encountered another car and lost track of the first one?

The updates are sent at 10 per second, aren't they? The basic concept of inertia will let you keep track of what cars are around you for collision-avoidance and even ad-hoc communication purposes. A car simply can't warp in or out at timescales faster than that.

You don't need to know that the cars you're tracking are the same ones you were tracking five minutes ago. There's no safety application for an ID feature.
