The present invention provides a roadway sign that is visible only to computer sensors, specifically designed for calibrating autonomous vehicle sensors. The roadway sign uses low-visibility markers or calibration targets integrated into existing road infrastructure. The sign is not visible to human drivers, ensuring no distraction or confusion. A roadway sign that is invisible to the human eye but detectable by computer sensors, such as those found in autonomous vehicles, streamlines the calibration process. Continuous, reliable and frequent calibration ensures that the sensor data remains accurate, reducing the risk of misinterpretation that can lead to accidents.
