I'd say that using "base stations" or "turrets" like in airports wouldn't make a autonomous-self-driving technology.
I guess I prefer a fully independent car capable of driving anywhere without the help 3rd party devices.
Ok maybe just gps.

My question is how much do a bunch of cars an intersection all using LIDAR at the same time interfere with each other? Would it make sense for them to wirelessly share their models, and share an even better model made possible by high resolution LIDAR placed on poles like street lights? Then approaching cars could see around corners, and know about otherwise invisible oncoming traffic.
I'm not suggesting that every intersection and long stretch of road through the desert should be festooned with LIDAR base stations. But how about starting with every busy intersection on Market street, for example?
