No more red lights?
Imagine a world where negotiating busy junctions does not require you to wait at a red light and the only reason to stop your car is because you have arrived at your destination.

We are now trialling a new way in which connected car technology could help – and that takes its lead from how people negotiate their way through busy crowds, by slowing down or speeding up to avoid collisions, without coming to a standstill. Intersection Priority Management is being tested on the streets of Milton Keynes, as part of the government-funded UK Autodrive programme that aims to ease traffic flow and improve safety and efficiency.

“We know that intersections and traffic lights can be a real bugbear for many drivers. We envisage a world where vehicles are more aware of each other and their environment, enabling intelligent cooperation and collaboration on the roads – and around junctions.”
For the trial, there are people behind the wheel, but it is envisaged that autonomous vehicles could also benefit – and that one day there may be no need for traffic lights or road signs.
