you could also maybe make the cars scan street signs to tell their current location? these street signs largely already exist as human drivers have to read them too. maybe add a QR code for easier readability and extra data.
hence the QR code suggestion, it also wouldn’t depend on rfid tags embedded in the road surface that would get worn and damaged and needs replacement way more frequently than a sign with a QR code.
Not really. Most of the cars that display speed limits do it by retrieving data from an online source. I don’t think any of them actually read signs actually.

Character recognition takes a LOT more processing power than reading an RFID tag.

But cars already do that, for speed limit signs and such

A 5 sec google search: the ford fiesta manual says snow/rain covering the sensor under the windshield might make it miss signs.
Interesting. Well that’s terrifying. A little spray point and I can make an 85 mile an hour zone!
? The driver is in charge of driving, the assistant is just that
That’s now how the owners of all of these ‘full self driving’ cars feel …
I’ve worked with computers long enough to never EVER want to trust one to drive.
Pretty much fuck any car that’s connected to the internet…
