Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for controlling one or more vehicles with the use of navigation markers positioned or integrated into a ground surface. A vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, may include a light detection assembly, which may include a light emitter, an optical filter, an optical sensor, and an analog-to-digital converter, and optionally may include a lens. The light emitter may emit light towards the ground surface which may illuminate the navigation marker and cause the navigation marker to emit light passes through the optical filter and is ultimately sensed by the optical sensor. The vehicle may determine the light was emitted by the navigation marker and cause the vehicle to perform the predetermined action.
