This seems it will be applied to self driving technology in a huge way.
All of these companies doing advanced AI vision detection, classification etc... they’re really hard problems. But the whole challenge will eventually become nullified when every single road sign, landmark, and the road itself are tagged internally with metadata.
Instead of trying to decipher how does this PNG of a speed limit sign translate into a number, the number metadata would be encoded in the sign.
Looking at it this way, having advanced vision AI tech is only a competitive advantage in the short term
