Isn’t that exactly what Google is doing with their self drive cars?

Of course, I still think the sensors in the road will be needed for some time. There are plenty of times when I’m driving through the mountains when my GPS is convinced that my truck is driving through a cliff…. 

I also don’t see this becoming ubiquitous in our lifetime. There are plenty of roads that will never be updated because they lack the traffic to make it viable to update. Then there are those of us that like to go off the beaten path. I go out in the woods to recharge and get out of the city. Communing with nature, even from the cab of a pickup, is a great stress reliever.
