Autonomous vehicles may communicate with each other in 5G or 6G to avoid hazards, mitigate collisions, and facilitate the flow of traffic. However, for cooperative action, each vehicle must determine the wireless address of other vehicles in proximity, so that they can communicate directly with each other. It is not sufficient to know the wireless address alone; the wireless address must be associated with an actual vehicle in view. Methods disclosed herein enable vehicles to exchange messages that specify the distances and angles of other vehicles in view. Then, each vehicle compares the other vehicle's measurements with its own, along with each vehicle's wireless address. Using an AI-based map-merging algorithm, one or more vehicles can produce a full traffic map from the fragmentary local maps of each vehicle's viewpoint.
A method for a first vehicle to communicate with a second vehicle, the second vehicle proximate to a third vehicle, the method comprising:
Non-transitory computer-readable media in a second vehicle in traffic comprising a first vehicle and at least one other vehicle, the media containing instructions that when implemented by a computing environment cause a method to be performed, the method comprising:
