How do 2 cars cruise 60 mph through a 4 way stop without talking with each other.

That's a bit different from talking to "the cloud" as the parent poster was talking about. Cars will be using a short range radio technology like DSRC (5.9ghz band) to communicate locally. The FCC and DOT are already pushing mandates to have cars equipped with it.
Nobody is seriously trying to do that in a production vehicle. That would apply only to a highway system with all cars automated. Like this.[1]

Talking to other cars is different from communicating over the internet.
