Traffic Lights With Artificial Intelligence Could Help Your Terrible Daily Commute
A staunch consumer advocate tracking industry trends and regulation. Before joining TTAC, Matt spent a decade working for marketing and research firms based in NYC. Clients included several of the world’s largest automakers, global tire brands, and aftermarket part suppliers. Dissatisfied with the corporate world and resentful of having to wear suits everyday, he pivoted to writing about cars. Since then, that man has become an ardent supporter of the right-to-repair movement, been interviewed on the auto industry by national radio broadcasts, driven more rental cars than anyone ever should, participated in amateur rallying events, and received the requisite minimum training as sanctioned by the SCCA. Handy with a wrench, Matt grew up surrounded by Detroit auto workers and managed to get a pizza delivery job before he was legally eligible. He later found himself driving box trucks through Manhattan, guaranteeing future sympathy for actual truckers. He continues to conduct research pertaining to the automotive sector as an independent contractor and has since moved back to his native Michigan, closer to where the cars are born. A contrarian, Matt claims to prefer understeer — stating that front and all-wheel drive vehicles cater best to his driving style.

This is a great opportunity for us, compared to our peers, having the multi-energy platforms for all of our products in development and having the agility to move between them,” she said. From what is stated about the next generation Charger it will be released as a 2 door EV and then as a 4 door with the Hurricane turbo straight 6. I assume both the 2 door and 4 door is on the same platform.

In a lot of areas. St. Louis doesn't even have basic sensors yet. After 2-3 minutes at a red with no cross traffic, the light finally changes and the green light 45 yards down the road turns red for no cross traffic. Many drivers just routinely run them.
I've noticed that signalized intersections move traffic better when they're flashing red in all directions than when they're working. At least the lines aren't as long, and people pay attention. America's first traffic safety "expert" William Phelps Eno detested signals and promoted the traffic circle, aka rotary, called roundabouts in the UK. He would probably have a heart attack if he saw how the Italians negotiate them today. Then again, he wouldn't be driving. He never had a license and was rich enough to employ a chauffeur.
