That sounds great if we want to rebuild our entire road infrastructure. So using this for self driving will never happen since it would require every country to implement a very costly standard.

Sounds great in practice but isn’t realistic in the slightest

And that's also why a "self driving" car isn't realistic.

I think the proper term for what we have now should, at most, be something more akin to "Assisted Driving Features" because right now it's far to blurry.

Not sure that a rebuild is necessary, could be a simple as beacons on the back of emergency vehicles, 'qr' coded signs, and reflective road markers. Tesla already detects traffic cones...
