That sounds like a centralized approach to the problem. Which ive thought about, too. If the government provided more infrastructure to assist driverless cars it would probably accelerate adoption and the installation and maintenance costs of LIDAR turrets and other infrastructure would ideally be offset by the number of lives saved. Im also wondering if a something similar to air traffic control could be applied to self driving cars.
If you really want to decentralize, take down all the "DON'T WALK" signals, and let pedestrians use a smartphone app to tell them when to cross the road.
