1. A method for computer-assisted driving of a vehicle, comprising the steps of:
marking pavement surfaces with predefined patterns of peaks and troughs, whereby movement of said vehicle over said pavement surfaces produce vibrations in the vehicle;
sensing and measuring frequencies of said vibrations when the vehicle traverses different segments of the pavement;
determining the segment of the pavement traversed by the vehicle by matching said frequencies with pre-specified frequencies for said segment traversed;
identifying navigational data and geographical data associated with said segment traversed; and
directing an onboard computer to assist driving of the vehicle based on said navigational data and said geographical data.
