If you are going to build a stand alone drivers station as well, you might want to reconsider WiFi. The network stack is overkill for your application, and doesn't give you anything extra if you aren't going to be talking via high level protocols. I would consider moving to the XBee wireless system. It uses a simplified version of ZigBee and essentially just acts as a wireless serial protocol (with some additional features and usage caveats). There are some premade shields and a lot of software examples to get you going.
