The other option is a 2-d barcode on the road or on a sign in a position that the car can read it. That barcode leads to a URL with a machine-readable map of the drive-thru. Naturally such a sign and URL is maintained by the restaurant and the car's systems can read and understand the content.
Awesome, if you ask me.

- binarysolo 15y agoGood idea, but probably can't be relied upon given liability issues (in addition to the whole "print wrong barcode and sabotage restaurant with crashing cars thing).
