This particular move would see virtual traffic lights activated on-demand – which could very well revolutionize the way one drives. A spokesperson mentioned that commute times for urban workers can be reduced by 40% if one were to make use of virtual traffic lights compared to traditional traffic lights.
Ozan Tonguz, professor at the University, also assisted with the development of the technology, claimed that these virtual traffic lights will go into action on-demand anytime two vehicles are on their way to cross an intersection simultaneously. Should only one car approach, then the lights would be turned down. What do you think – will it be able to be implemented in the long run?
