Whether you’re a driver near Wilmette, IL or pretty much anywhere in the country, you likely know the feeling of frustration that comes with hitting every red light on your commute or your way to the store. And of course, on the opposite side of the emotional spectrum are those rare days when you hit every green and arrive at your destination earlier than you expected. What if there was a way to ensure that you always hit all the green lights? You may say that’s impossible, but then again, these are Land Rover engineers that we’re talking about. Indeed, Land Rover is hard at work on a technology called Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory that will automatically drive you at the right speed to sail through all the green lights in Wilmette.
This new feature will be a part of the connected-car technologies that Jaguar Land Rover is developing. Working with two other automakers, Jaguar Land Rover is attempting to connect cars to infrastructure while simultaneously expanding the car’s standalone capabilities. When installed in a new Land Rover for sale near Wilmette,IL, Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory will connect to the city’s traffic light network and tell you what speed to drive in order to hit every green light possible.
In addition to the Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory system, Jaguar Land Rover is hard at work on other connected car technologies. Electronic Emergency Brake Light Assist notifies drivers when a vehicle ahead of them slams on their brakes. Finally, the Advanced Highway Assist is a piece of self-driving technology that overtakes other cars on the highway automatically, without the need for driver intervention.
