There's computers in traffic lights and increasingly more in cars, why shouldn't they talk to each other? An Audi test program is interfacing with enabled traffic devices that inform onboard systems about their cycle durations. That way speeds can be calculated to hit the light rolling, rather than stomping on the brakes for a yellow you didn't quite make. I'm pretty sure I blagged on this idea a couple years ago then it was billed as technology of the future. Good to know we're finally making it there, even if there are no flying cars.
