Advantages: Dosen't Need Connectivity
Autonomous vehicles become confused when disconnected from data centers whose DNN infers the identity of nearby objects from image data.
- Disconnection happens when
- Events end and thousands of people try to hail a ride; or
- During a disaster or an emergency
The resulting gridlock creates a public nuisance; and in an emergency, endangers lives.
RFI Infrastructure provides autonomous vehicles information when disconnected from Skynet
- Information is available when cell services are out
- Passive (not-powered) RF-eye beacons provide location, road sign information and object identification
- Vehicles situational awareness lets it operate safely to find a place to park until connectivity is restored
Once RF-eye is fully adopted, AVs will operate without the need for connectivity.
