What I think is where it probably starts working well is when you can fuse information from other cars and sensors on the road. And or bicycles and even pedestrians.

Imagine a stop light with a lidar sensor that broadcasts that information. Car ahead broadcasting that it's stopped in the fast lane.

Think about it from a security and distributed systems perspective. How do you establish that the sensor data is good (sensor isn't failing), the data is trustworthy (not malicious), and ensure you have it when you need it? V2V and V2I take already hard problems like self-driving and add a bunch of other hard problems on top.

They're hardly worth discussing as serious solutions today.
