Well, yes ofcourse, object detection will still be a feature no doubt. The vehicle must have context of where it is. But overhauling infrastructure to be machine readable is an excellent idea to implement on high risk situations like suburbia and cities where pedestrians and dogs are actual factors. The vast majority of roads and infrastructure have no pedestrians. It's just highway and freeway. It would make sense for the car to follow other cars and calibrate its position accordingly without neccesarily "seeing".
