We don’t necessarily need to rip up the existing roads. We could just put some radio based markers on the road. Then when they do construction, they could be easily moved, too.
- ashtonkem 7y agoIt’s true that markers on the pavement are cheaper to implement than markers in the pavement, I agree. I’m also not convinced it solves anything. In the scenario above the problem wasn’t the fact that the lines weren’t visible, the problem was other cars. This is particularly problematic when many of those other cars are human beings who will never have access to modified road information. In this scenario a smart car that knows where the lane should be is still forced to dynamically negotiate for space with other vehicles, sans communication protocols. That is a very hard problem, one I do not believe is currently solved.
