If you’ve seen talk about a white traffic light or images of a signal with an unfamiliar fourth color, you’re not imagining it. With everything drivers already pay attention to at intersections, ...

Red and green traffic lights have been around since the 1800s, when British traffic officers used to rotate gas lamps that burned red and green to control the movement of mostly horse-drawn vehicles.

Adding a fourth light to traffic signals -- in addition to red, green and yellow -- would shorten wait times at street corners for pedestrians, as well as improve traffic flow for both autonomous ...

Development of self-driving technology seems to have slowed down due to the complexity of navigating human-driven traffic. A new paper from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Fully self-driving cars, despite the claims of some companies ...

SCRANTON – In the works for years, plans to upgrade traffic light signals at three busy intersections finally have a green light to move ahead. In recent years, the state Department of ...

Cars that drive themselves are no longer just a concept you'd see in sci-fi movies imagining the near future. Companies like Waymo are already using self-driving cars, and you can ride in a robotaxi ...

Some things are so ubiquitous that it's easy to forget they're designed for a reason. With more than 300,000 traffic lights set up across the United States, it's easy to take how they look for granted ...

Yellow lights often cause confusion because drivers do not know what to do when they encounter a yellow light signal. The rules are clear, but those rules have not made yellow light situations any ...
