So we have some cars that rely on visual information for self-driving.
And we have some cars that can project onto the landscape, modifying visual information.
What could go wrong!
I only have a Volvo, in the UK, and it has one of those systems that tell you the last road sign that it has seen. That information then can optionally control warnings, speed limiter, etc. I typically do use the speed limiter, it works well... until I was behind a car that had a 20mph bumper sticker on the back. Then my car kept insisting that 20mph was the speed limit. I was on a motorway.
Plot for a future novel: Project light onto surfaces from a moving vehicle to make another car behave in a way that kills the occupants. No evidence can be found at the scene as to why the car killed the occupants.
