Audi is introducing the vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) service “Traffic Light Information” in Europe. With the Traffic Light Information function, drivers are more in control. In the US capital alone, about 1,000 intersections are linked to the Traffic Light Information function. From here, the information reaches the car via a fast Internet connection. In future, V2I technologies such as Traffic Light Information will also facilitate automated driving.
