The only scenerio I see with a cross traffic is being high enough to avoid the disruption a high profile vehicle moving at speed makes to the local area. Could tumble a 'quad. Now you get into focus and adequate resolution.
Above 20-mph it isn't an issue for road vehicles.
Don't test in 'traffic.'
Don't test in 'wind'.

drone speed
Our vehicles are at super-critical Reynolds number by 20-mph ( 32.2-km/h ). That's all a drone would have to do in order to 'observe' tufts or smoke.
I was somewhat surprised that the fastest [hobbyist] drone currently did 247MPH. How I Built the FASTEST Drone on Earth

' 247'

Then it won't be a reach to envision them at Lake Mirage and Bonneville before long. 'Test & Tune' will have a new 'look'.

Audi Alt:Trail concept:

Audi's new concept has drones for headlights!!

The flat-fender aero/offroad body is interesting. Maybe not as much as the autonomous drones keeping ahead of the parade.

'Audi'

I'll be glad when VW AG shareholders vote to burn Audi's charter, and erase it from the face of the Earth.( expletives and ad hominems deleted ).
