do you think 'I wish I could change them to green',
well it is not going to happen quite yet, but if you have an
app for iOS and Android that communicates with a city’s traffic lights to let
you know when a stale green light is about to turn yellow, or a red light two
blocks ahead will turn green it may help you judge your distance
and therefore speed as you approach the light, the app is
called EnLighten and is the brainchild of Matt Ginsberg,
CEO and founder of Connected
Signals, a red, yellow, or green circle indicates the current state of
the signal, a countdown pops up at the bottom of the circle, letting the driver
know how long before the green light goes red and then how you'll have to wait
at the red light, EnLighten requires the cooperation of cities to make it
work, it works in the states of Portland and Eugene (Connected Signals’
headquarters) in Oregon are all fully covered, as well as Salt Lake City, the app
will roll out in other cities as the company gains access to its traffic
signals, BMW announced on Monday that its iDrive system will integrate with
EnLighten for iOS, any BMW with the iDrive system, even cars already on the
road, can install the app and control it using iDrive, but here is the big one,
where can I get an app that will actually change the lights to green as I
approach them, like I guess they have on fire trucks etc?
