The new signaling system will utilize artificial intelligence to create the most efficient sequence for traffic.

As more self-driving cars hit the roads around the world, many aspects of driving could be changed forever. So, and traffic light could change as experts plan to add one fourth color.

His researchers North Carolina State proposed a new traffic signal system at intersections incorporating a new white light to reduce traffic congestion in cities. The function of the new color will be to warn drivers to “just follow the car in front”.

According to the Sun, scientists claim this could reduce urban traffic congestion and reduce fuel consumption, effectively saving motorists a lot of money over time.

The fourth light must be used to regulate traffic autonomous vehicles – and will synchronize with their computer systems, according to the lead researcher Ali Hajbabaie.

THAT Shark Bay and his team tested the “white light” concept in complex micro-traffic simulators set up to predict the various situations that might arise on the road.

The proposed “white light” will therefore be activated when enough AV vehicles approach an intersection, with an artificial intelligence system helping to create the most efficient sequence for traffic to avoid congestion and traffic jams.
