NEW TECH GETS GREEN LIGHT

Ford has been using a Kuga equipped with prototype control systems to automatically change traffic lights to green as it approaches. The idea is to provide a clear route for emergency services and avoid crossing red lights. The tests were carried out using C-V2X (cellular vehicleto-everything) technology. The Kuga also tested daily driving scenarios, receiving a signal from traffic lights and modulating its speed using cruise control to always arrive when they are green.
