Audi Traffic Signal Recognition System Gets The Green Light

Audi has revealed a nearly production-ready version of its Audi Online traffic light recognition system, following the debut of a prototype ‘Travolution’ version in 2008.

Unveiled in its latest form  at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the new system promises to ease both the mind and the car’s impact on the environment.

The technology works by connecting with a city’s traffic control through a 4G wireless connection, allowing the car’s computer to recognise coming light changes and to prepare the driver through a series of in-dash alerts.
