In the video, the system claims to achieve a reduction in emissions and an increased throughput, and not to mention extremely smooth traffic flow from the looks of it. An interesting video from MIT’s Senseable City Lab questions whether traffic lights will still be necessary once vehicles become wholly autonomous, and finds that traffic will move much more efficiently if they are scrapped. The MIT researchers have been working on the project for a few years now, but this is their first public demonstration.
