Audi Travolution Vehicle Can Talk To Traffic Lights

Audi has been working on quite a few enhancements for vehicles as part of its Travolution project. Interesting features include vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure communications and SmartACC. By allowing vehicles to communicate with traffic signals via Wi-Fi/3G, the vehicle’s driving speed can be optimized so that the driver will encounter fewer red lights, saving the amount of fuel wasted when the car is brought to a halt and started off again. Another cool feature is the ability to gently press the brakes if you’re going to run a red light, encouraging you to stop. Check out the press release for the full nitty gritty on what transportation in the future could be like for Audi cars.
