You fall back to in-car autopilot. I’m sure there’s a “progressive enhancement” way to do this.
For one thing, we already have this issue with the current road signs: if the right sign is defaced, a human driver is likely to make a mistake
- rbanffy 5y agoSignage could be embedded in the asphalt. It’d probably be easier to read by the car this way, and much harder to remove.
- sandworm101 5y agoTravel route 66. They had such trouble with people pulling down those signs that they instead painted them onto the road. But that doesn't work so well in bad weather as rain/snow makes such signs difficult to read. Painted road is also more slippery.
- rbanffy 5y agoI suggested something like embedding RFID tags in the road, not paint signs over it. If you also embed trackers in the signs themselves, the depredation issue is easier to deal with.
- fiddlerwoaroof 5y agoI wonder if you could embed little iron strips in the road in a specific pattern and then put some sort of sensor inside the tires to read the pattern. And then have a warning system to alert people about the transition from “upgraded” to “normal” roads.
