There was talk of embedding sensors in the roads that the auto-driving cars could track… Like Bots’ Dots but with RFID tags in them… I figure that would be a maintenance nightmore though…
RFID tags seems like an odd choice. They have such a limited range. It feels like there would be a material that is extra easy for sensors to detect, and could maybe carry a small amount of information.
Probably, but really when it comes to driving there just needs to be an encoded lcoation in it… Hell three-words is all you need to mark any spot on the map to within 10’…
and what they really need is enough range to detect the last one, the closest one, and the next one…
There are a lot of ways to do it…Cameras and GPS are not it… I won’t go near any of the current incarnation of “Self Driving” pieces of shit… 40 years in IT and I know enough about computers that I don’t want one making real decisions for me.
