There’s nothing more annoying than inching along the road in a city with heavy traffic.
With today’s traffic light systems, it’s not unusual to get stuck at a red light, travel 30 feet, then get stopped again. Rinse and repeat. There are, however, innovations in the works to create intelligent traffic systems: ones that collect data, analyze the patterns, and make adjustments in real-time, ultimately making traffic systems more efficient than they are today.
In this episode, we’re going beyond talking about just autonomous cars. Instead, we’re investigating the world of autonomous and connected cars, and the infrastructural changes that will change the way we travel. Eric Gannaway, from Siemens Intelligent Traffic Systems in Detroit, is our tour guide for this episode.
Together, we discuss the potential costs and benefits of connected vehicles, how intelligent traffic systems will improve the flow of traffic, and what the future of employment in the automotive industry will look like.
