Why won't it work with the road we have now? We have GPS. That'll tell the car where it is. We have cell phones and long distance radio transmitters. This will tell the cars where they are in relation to one another, as well as their speed.
Why not cell phones. The car can broadcast exactly how far it has driven and what changes in direction it has made every millisecond. That should keep the car out of a ditch.
