Wanna know why the ton of money we're spending on exploring V2V and I2V RF communications systems is a waste? We can't even keep up the markings necessary to let 100% of road users safely navigate, let alone put in special purpose technology for the possibility of autonomous vehicles...
Where's the lane? Self-driving cars confused by shabby U.S. roadways:
Volvo's North American CEO, Lex Kerssemakers, lost his cool as the automaker's semi-autonomous prototype sporadically refused to drive itself during a press event at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
"It can't find the lane markings!" Kerssemakers griped to Mayor Eric Garcetti, who was at the wheel. "You need to paint the bloody roads here!"
