Signed messages only ensure that they weren't modified by a MITM. If the attack controls the sending vehicle, the signature doesn't help.

Tamper proof modules that store the key? Like Secure Enclave?
- a signed (regulator-mandated) signal for cars from other manufacturers;
- an encrypted signal intended for cars from the same manufacturer.
The first signal would be signed by the root CA of the car maker to indicate that its communications can be trusted.
The encrypted signal would of course carry an information-rich payload for coordinating a convoy to travel at the same speed, brake, signal a turn, etc simultaneously, for instance.
