Nah. Docks can be equipped with hardware.
The GPS on my tractor can operate with sub inch accuracy. I’m sure the dock is the easy part.
The hard part is one of 3 things:
1. Unknown/unpredictable weather/visability/static/whatever else affects their sensors conditions.
2. Unpredictable/irrational behaviors of other drivers/pedestrians.
3. Hardware reliability.
