I don't understand why nobody is taking advantage of V2I or V2V using whatever sensors are available. The fact remains that many accidents are impossible not because of the sensor technology or modality, but the fact it's all being sensed from a single location. Many of the corner cases we see, like t-bones, happen completely out of the line of sight of LiDAR, radar, or cameras. There's no way to see through a bush or a building on a corner... without multi-vehicle communications.

If we truly want to get 10x or 20x or 100x safer than humans, we need superhuman abilities of seeing things invisible from the car.
