According to Cars.com, the pilot network of 'smart' traffic signals functions by interfacing with a vehicle and alerting the driver to the most optimal speed required for non-stop driving. The light network, for its part, "adapts to traffic patterns to deliver optimum light switching."

A faster, more expedient commute is just one of the benefits of Audi's next-generation traffic system. Another is the fact that a smoother ride with less stops saves fuel by cutting idle periods. It also helps reduce engine wear - an especially important consideration when driving the likes of a brand new S6!
