What if someone redraws road lines (or fakes the speed limit signs or whatever) to confuse drivers today?
With machine-readable signage based on fiducials, not only can you error-correct the signage (making it highly resistant to simple alterations and ambiguous readings), you can also encrypt it and get 6 degree of freedom vehicle vs signage pose information. All from a single camera view. That makes it MUCH more resistant to abuse than machine-learning of human-readable signage... arguably more resistant to abuse even than human readable signage is to humans.
(Also, I’ve thought of additional ways that fiducials could be resistant to such measures.)
