Subject: Re: A thought about AI
In the case of autonomous cars, the use of standards (such as transponders on parking signs, fire hydrants, built into traffic signals, rail crossing etc., etc. as well into each car, which are readable by car-borne receivers will promote efficacy and safety. That requires standards. It would also allow municipalities to assist/command load balancing.

In addition to what Elan said ...

You think the municipalities that can't/don't even fix potholes to install & maintain these transponders?
