That sounds great if we want to rebuild our entire road infrastructure. So using this for self driving will never happen since it would require every country to implement a very costly standard.

Sounds great in practice but isn’t realistic in the slightest

Not sure that a rebuild is necessary, could be a simple as beacons on the back of emergency vehicles, 'qr' coded signs, and reflective road markers. Tesla already detects traffic cones...

And that's also why a "self driving" car isn't realistic.

I think the proper term for what we have now should, at most, be something more akin to "Assisted Driving Features" because right now it's far to blurry.

Thats what road are already. They are costly and they are mostly standard through out the world.
