Yeah, nope. 'smart' roads mean wasting billions on sensors that would become outdated soon after being installed and banning non-'smart' users is political suic

  I live in a city that uses pressure sensors to detect if a car passed red lights. It’s still not outdated over 10 years later. You don’t need smart roads you just need to make roads visible for self driving cars. They shouldn’t need to be fit into acting like humans. Your dystopian vision is a very narrow and biased assumption, it doesn’t need electronics, it’s simple as using covered bridges, machine readable signs and powered rails like streetcars. China did exactly what I mentioned by using high speed rails rather than focusing on fitting self driving cars and bypasses the pedestrian and transponders you focused on avoiding.
