Autonomous vehicles are required to 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 and position 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 simultaneously acquire 360-degree images of other vehicles in traffic, and transmit those images wirelessly along with their wireless addresses. The various images are then “fused” by identifying objects that are viewed from at least two directions, and calculating their positions by triangulation. The resulting traffic map, or a listing of the vehicle positions, is then broadcast along with the wireless addresses of the vehicles The vehicles can then determine which wireless address belongs to which of the vehicles in proximity, and can thereby cooperate with each other to avoid accidents and facilitate the flow of traffic.
