Self-driving cars could lead to a fourth, white traffic signal — or no signals at all: researchers
The first 'municipal traffic control' system appeared in Cleveland in 1914 with just green and red lights, and yellow was added a few years later. The advent of self-driving cars could lead to a number of changes to traffic laws down the road, including a possible fourth traffic signal, researchers say.
On top of the ubiquitous red, yellow and green, a white light could signal that autonomous vehicles are in charge of the intersection. Or the vehicles could possibly make signals irrelevant altogether. North Carolina State University associate engineering professor Ali Hajbabaie is among those imagining the future of traffic lights.
