Why don’t we have cars talk to each other and coordinate their routing? Like some sort of peer to peer mechanism that helps them not crash each other. Why can’t vehicles be made to stop at cross walks when someone is crossing with some sort of communication to the vehicle?

As someone who works on autonomous driving, having wireless communications on a path where it’s responsible for safety guarantees is a nightmare
