I used to think that V2X road infrastructure was a major necessary component for self driving. I no longer hold that opinion. The “self-driving” infrastructure would not be magically any better than the “human-driving” infrastructure, and how to handle conflicting data from the infra in terms of sensor fusion is not at all clear. In short, it creates as many problems as it solves, and doesn’t really solve the problems that it sets out to in the real-world. Even simpler things like supplemental signaling that could be used in special circumstances like road work and emergency vehicles, if they are not used properly and consistently in all cases, it doesn’t change the fact that the system needs to correctly handle these cases internally.
