…but I’m sure slower people will still make the rabbits feel the road rage!

I’m sure this will never make its way over to the good ol’ US of A, but it appears that Audi has started a pilot program on 50 traffic lights to make them “smart lights”. The lights have been equipped with sensors that send information to a netowrk that “adapts to traffic patterns to deliver optimum light switching” but supposedly also lets drivers know when the light will change so you can speed up to get through the intersection.

With the way I have seen people around here drive, it won’t amount to a hill of beans. People already run red lights, I just think this will make them run it more frequently. And most drivers won’t pay attention to the “speed up to make the light” sensor…they’ll just plod along.

Who knows though?
