Who would be responsible for maintaining static sensor networks and processing centers? The current transport authorities who do such a great job maintaining dumb roads?

A lot of the problems with AVs are not just technological, but political and social in nature.




Smart roads are commonplace: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelers%27_information_stati.... Plus we have traffic lights, adaptive speed limits, rest stop information boards, etc.

The responsibility for these systems obviously falls to the transportation authorities.

Scaling this capability up may not be easy but it's absolutely possible. As we expand our fleet of autonomous vehicles that can respond to these inputs it will become more and more useful and necessary.
