Does anyone know if there have been efforts to connect a city's traffic lights/data with a self driving system like this? That crosswalk had a timer on it, and if that status could be accessed by the Tesla in real time, the autopilot would have known not to make that turn even if the cameras were telling it something else. Idk if those things are networked, but it seems like a good investment to do that if it means safer self-driving cars.
