If you beat back in cities , you get laid the game where you guess the accurate swiftness to , say , cruise down Lexington Ave hitting all the immature igniter in succession . With Audi ’s Travolution organisation — presently piloted in Ingolstadt , German — that plot is no longer necessary , because 46 dealings visible radiation account in to the car ’s computing machine , and the auto tell you the speed you should go to hit all of them when green . There ’s no evidence to hint it currently transmits a signal from automobile to the traffic illumination , one that could perhaps recite it to turn unripened when you approach . Audi did leave that open ended , though , saying in its press statement :
The observational ‘ Travolution ’ system … will not only improve synchroneity and phasing of traffic light networks to boil down discontinue time , but could also dramatically reduce the issue of real stops needed by produce a communications nexus between cars and the traffic light mesh .
It ’s still not clear what happens in unexpected dealings , and Travolution definitely does n’t tell you what to do when the nan in front of you does n’t also happen to have a specially outfitted A5 or A6 Avant . If enough light are rigged up , though , I ’m certain a portable version could be contrive so even jalopies could get a pellet at winning the sequenced - light biz . [ Jalopnik ]
