You know I was wondering why they done use the wire guided systems for this. The equipment has been around for years. Embed the track line down the center of the lane the cars guide off that. Millions are being spent on this sort of tech when there are simple solutions that could be used today. Maybe its just me bucking the system but autonomous solutions are not ready for prime time and neither are we.

Tells the car where the road is, but not where anything else that might be on the road is

Back in the late 1980s through the mid/late 1990s, automated highway (AHS) tests were done in California which tested using permanent magnets embedded in the road for the autos to use as guides. I took my first ride in one of these "self-driving" cars almost 25 years ago.

President Build-a-Bridge-to-the-21st-Century's DOT terminated its AHS program in 1997 leaving many of the projects in a lurch and the not ready for publication of results.

If they could energize that cable to run your car while driving, and then go to battery, until you get back to the cable, now that would be interesting......
