Connected Signals is more of a route planning function in the vehicle itself. It finds the quickest route across town, based on current timing of the lights, road closures and etc.

Green Light? I'll take a look.
I see no need for a GPS and cell tower triangulation etc to get the basics working for everyone.
Pressure sensors in the roads, at and between traffic lights and junctions , and the light's green for you if there's no one coming.
Then all the GPSing and wireless and what-not can and will be added.
But ye; GPSing and wireless and what-not were bound to come 1st.
Sad part is; we a thinking people haven't insisted on sensors etc considering the good that would do for fuel consumption and travel time. Time and Money...
