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.
Whatchutalkinabout? Putting sensors or transponders in roads and intersections to control autonomous vehicles is an antiquated (what, twenty years old?) idea. The infrastructure cost would be prohibitive, and it would never address the jaywalking pedestrian or stray cat. All the sensors and smarts are in the cars themselves without any outside assistance. That’s the way it’s gone so far and will go for the foreseeable future.
