But even there they'll have to coexist with those of us in cars from der hinterland, where the roads are not yet dotted with sensors. Some technologies can move fast. This isn't one of them.
Autonomous cars don't use sensors on the road. They see the road with cameras , lidar and other sensors and act as normal drivers do. There doesn't need to be anything special about the road to allow it to operate.
