" While it may be hard to tell, modern traffic lights are connected to a traffic management system. These systems monitor traffic and are in charge of when each light changes. And Audi has just introduced technology that communicates with those systems to let the driver know when the light is about to change. Audi and a company called Traffic Technology Services call the new feature Traffic light information\u2014not exactly the most creative name. When a car sits at a connected intersection, it will receive real-time information on how long it will have to wait for a green light. Currently, the technology is relatively limited, but as vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) technology advances, Audi says it could be fully integrated with the car&amp;#039;s navigation system, allowing it to route cars through the city more efficiently. Still, in its current form, it could still improve traffic flow as drivers&amp;#039; reaction times to light changes are improved. Audi says it will first offer the feature on 2017 Audi Q7, A4 and A4 allroads built after June 1st of this year. And while it&amp;#039;s set to initially only be available in select cities, the company has not yet said which ones it will be.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
