The South Korean government says it will upgrade the country’s 5,500 km (3,400 miles) of major highways for use by autonomous vehicles by 2024, The Nikkei reports.
The project also will make robotic-friendly modifications to local streets in major cities. The changes aim to provide self-driving vehicles with data to help them navigate roadways more safely. The report does not indicate the cost of the program.
Among the enhancements will be traffic signals that broadcast their intentions to autonomous cars, eliminating the need for such vehicles to rely on a camera to “read” the light. The plan also will install systems that relay data about lane width to self-driving cars so they can position themselves correctly on the roadway.
In addition, the government says it will partner with Korean companies to create detailed 3D maps of all modified routes.

Ford Copies Nature
As Nature (yes, capital N Nature) has done a pretty good job of designing things, it is somewhat surprising that Man (ditto) doesn’t follow Nature’s lead more often when it comes to designing objects.
