There’s no evidence that this sort of system is possible given the latency of wireless communications and probability of momentary glitches in real time systems

There’s no evidence that this sort of system is possible given the latency of wireless communications and probability of momentary glitches in real time systems long enough to cause a cascading set of failure leading to crashes.

We’ll likely never have cars zippering through intersections at high speed, but we could likely increase intersection throughout by mind boggling amounts while still allowing for multiple systems failures not killing anyone. Say the power cuts in a car, or worse its location updates no longer match the surrounding cars’ sensors, the cars in its mesh could immediately alert all the cars around that it is no longer updating its location and might be anywhere, so all cars in the area should go into low speed safe mode. It should be a doable to some degree.
