You'll Soon See White on Traffic Lights - But Why?

Get ready to see some white lights joining the red, yellow, and green party on the traffic lights! It would signal to drivers of autonomous vehicles (AVs). The white light should help them manage the upcoming intersection of traffic flow intelligently. The thinking is that both traffic congestion levels and overall fuel consumption could be reduced. The cars and trucks that are driving themselves won't need to 'look' at the white traffic light, because they'll be communicating with it wirelessly. 🚦💡🌈

Except that Ai is real now. AGI will probably come next decade. Quantum computers might be accessible in a few decades. Lots of people will be losing their jobs. All that is not science fiction is already happening. So yeah smart roads and self driving cars will be a thing in a few cities or parts of the world by 2050 (which this video is suggesting). Flying cars are not a thing because the Anti gravity tech you see in movies is much much harder. But at least "Knight Rider" will most likely become a thing 😊🎉

[@kenp5186]

@@madjunir We will probably need quantum computers before we can get to AGI. The is a huge leap between large scale language probability (what is currently being called AI) and AGI. The job changes are mostly just a buggy whip issue. In much the same way that AI provides valuable assistance currently, we will adjust to the new tools as they become available. This will occur much the same way as we adjusted to cars, calculators, spreadsheets, electric light, written dictionaries (in no order whatsoever) and pretty much anything else you can thing of.

I love how some people and companies are like “by 2050 there will only be electric self driving cars”. There are people out there that have 100+ year old cars and still drive them, that’s not going to ever change. If anything, with the constant rise in automotive reliability, ownership of ‘classic cars’ may become even more prevalent. As an example, Brian Johnson the singer for AC/DC daily drives a 1929 Bentley he named “Thunder Guts”. Gasoline/Diesel powered non-autonomous vehicles will ALWAYS be around, and I’m really REALLY happy about that.

@@GuyTrea: No they don't. Not in cases where you have to mix light from both ends of the spectrum in order to see another color, as magenta/purple. Actual green things emit or reflect the light in a wavelength that comes from the green part of the spectrum. So to all non-colorblind people that will be seen as green because it IS green., even if it's seen as if it were "white" to a colorblind person, while not being _actually_ white. For a non-colorblind person the white light has to come from the whole spectrum of visible light, unlike what it does for a colorblind person. So for the non-colorblind person the light that they're seeing as white is _actually_ white (even if it starts out as a mix of RGB). Big difference.

[@SirRebrl]

@@HelloKittyFanMan. "Green" and "white" are qualia that only exist in private experience. In someone with normally functioning color vision, there is a direct correlation between a physical phenomenon and the reported qualia, but that's all it is. A correlation. For stephen7938, as a colorblind man, green has always been white. He didn't say anything about that applying to anyone else.

⁠​⁠@@applejack2374Railroad signals are typically opposite to that of road traffic lights, often with red on bottom and green on top.

How about we wise up and remove all intersections with lights (which are costly and inefficient) and replace them all with traffic circles (which don't cost anything to operate and are more efficient). We don't needlessly burn fuel while idling at a light if we use circles. There isn't any traffic bunching up with circles, so there will be less waiting to pull out onto main roads from side/cross streets. No need to run electric lines and pay for the electricity to operate those lights as well as constant maintenance and upgrading. Also.

Poor sighted elderly people don't usually drive anymore.

[@KZaneTheHyperBeastR]

Yes but the old people might not gonna buy EV cars anyway

He said 2050 that's a whole new generation then still programming.

I can't even get Google Maps to direct my car to stop directly in front on someone's house so that my Door Dash rating has fallen to 70% On Time or Early! And u expect me to follow one of these cars and trust it? Noooope

[@johnnygismo4060]

They say you will see a white light just before you die.

[@antoniobragancamartins3165]

The big problem is that technology will become complex and the maintaining too. Furthermore the things will become older and unreliable and will have successive fails! What about an old car with high embedded and obsolete technology? Who will keep maintaining ?

[@maggsmcguire8854]

Glad I won’t be around then. I’d be 98 so even if I’m alive I definitely wouldn’t be driving.

[@Xlradioplayer]

Lol people don't even know what the Yield sign means

[@terceldude]

People also drive slower than the limit, especially on the highway in the left lane

I remember way back when traffic lights had only had a red and green.

[@klsounds]

Like the idea 0:55

[@jasons8479]

I like the headlights that show emotions. I've long thought there should be car horns that make different sounds to use in certain circumstances... especially some nicer gentler sounds that don't sound as mean.

[@taliaasims]

Yu would think in 2023

[@jeffreybower5959]

you can actually order a custom horn for your current cars,, they have them out,, just need to make sure it works on your car!! they even did this to the general lee on dukes of hazard years ago

[@jerseyjoyride1316]

I remember watching a video a while back on KZbin about a guy that had three settings on his horn.

[@jameslester4474]

Yeah, that's what we need , more distractions drivers can look for as opposed to actually watching the road and traffic ....NOT !

[@jasons8479]

@@jameslester4474 Actually with better communication options, people would get more information _without_ needing to look around unnecessarily. With the current loud and alarming car horn sound everybody nearby pretty much must look around and figure out what it's all about and whether it applies to them. Is somebody mad that they got cut off? Is it a friendly reminder that the light turned green? Are they warning you of some hazard? Is someone saying thank you for letting them in? Did a kid just run out into the street? Did someone's ride just show up? It could mean all sorts of things, and having I'd say maybe 3 options would be an improvement: 1. A loud attention-getting horn to alert of dangers or express negative feelings or when the options below don't seem to work. 2. A normal typical horn for general everyday use. 3. A lighter, friendlier tone for expressing something nice but not urgent.

This existing technology is known as LiDAR and lifi. Adapting this into an stayem of automation and safty control is a logical step, not a "prediction" in the future beyond this there are already plans to have the head lights on the cars projecting data, so as the trafic is connected into the safty system like we use cell phones to gather sensor data on mass.

[@LyrikalMaestro]

Exceptional on the formality though I disdain my speculation around when self driving vehicles were coming into our lives, may I gest that I support progress but I worry on the accuracy these developments are considered (i.e weather/natural disasters, detours/delays) to name a few due to we've only just begun on a.i being implemented into society's way of life as a whole. I pray that proper thoughts and data will be consistent before another grave global catastrophe arises or becomes another economic waste when history has proven these flawed faults humanity hasn't recovered out of prior. Believe I'm gonna sub and like this because of the accuracy you provided effectively well.

[@UGNAvalon]

I still have no idea what the white light is supposed to do. If the signals are already communicating with the self-driving cars, wouldn't the green light turn on at the same time that the self-driving cars get told to move forward?

[@BLKnPrd67]

That self repairing highway is dangerous. The dust from it will be akin to breathing in asbestos fibers.

[@anthonywagner1556]

Get rid of the wheels on the car all together. Have a aerial vehicle where you input the destination and just sit back. The vehicle will be able to find a safe place to self store until you call for it again,on smart watche or smart band that will also allow you to unlock/ lock vehicle and speak to the smart band for information on vehicle availability on upgrades /maintenance/ other.
