Caveat: I don't live in a developed nation, 3D scanning every traffic light and signs is a futile effort to enable self driving, at least in the next 5 years. 10 years is really optimistic.
All the hardware and software for self-driving has come down in price, but is anyone developing assistive products / super sensing for human drivers?
I for one would really like:
- seeing farther than my eyes can see, warning any sudden speed changes from cars in front
- automated blind spot warning/augmented side mirrors
- seeing beyond corners in tight intersections
Again, business model probably won't be as lucrative as having a fleet of automated cars, but I can see transport companies equipping these in their human-driven fleet to increase safety/reduce fatigue.
