[intended]

I liked the idea of simply using mobile data services to update cars from a network. Keep a series of cat eyes or pressure monitors on regular tarmac roads, have a collector station every few meters and use that to relay information.

In areas without network you dont use self driving tech.

Driving data is cultural data, its not some natural phenomenon which is clean and periodic. If a truck transporting cows breaks down and there’s a herd of cattle running all over the highway, I seriously doubt the models are going to perfectly handle that situation.

Level 5 self driving is impossible, but with road data and external coordination, we can achieve the same effect.
