The new partnership will let NXP make use of Cohda's V2X development algorithms, which will make it a lot easier for customers of both companies to use their technologies together to build in smart decision-making systems that involve culling data from infrastructure like traffic lights, radar detection and other vehicles around them, for instance.

Ford and chipmaker Qualcomm announced a partnership at CES 2018 on Tuesday to work together on cellular vehicle-to-everything (C2VX) tech, designed to validate and ensure a smooth rollout for the connective communication tech that's going to help cars connect up to things like smart traffic lights, street signs, bikes, roads and more.

But a political career that began in 1999 with election to the Overland Park City Council — where Mr. Kobach debated the less-than-partisan rudiments of traffic lights, crosswalks and parking lots — quickly pivoted to the more contentious questions of who should be allowed to enter the country and how election systems should be managed.

Smart cities can reduce resource consumption, using IoT devices to optimize the use of electricity and water; reduce traffic congestion and air pollution through smart coordination of traffic lights, parking availability, and public transportation; and harness the power of big data and ubiquitous IoT devices to enhance the efficiency and livability of the urban environment.

The occupants of a moving vehicle might even feel licensed to heckle or harass those they see, yet when the car is stripped of its power — by being stopped by traffic lights, for instance, or at a standstill in a traffic jam — and those occupants are exposed, their violence and aggression can rarely be sustained.

Already, in the city of Hangzhou, the company was soaking up data from thousands of street cameras and using it to control traffic lights with AI, optimizing traffic flow in much the way AlphaGo had optimized for winning moves on the Go board; now Alibaba would help design AI into a new megacity's entire infrastructure from the ground up.

After simulating a variety of traffic scenarios, the researchers found that implementing slot-based traffic regulation systems could result in up to a two fold increase of vehicle throughput at intersections compared to traditional traffic lights and "even more dramatic reductions" in delay times, an improvement the researchers chalk up to shorter setup phases (aka yellow lights).

In his book Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World, which chronicles the many places across the planet hit by the 2008 financial crisis, author Michael Lewis describes the city thusly: Weeds surround abandoned businesses, and all traffic lights are set to permanently blink, which is a formality, as there are no longer any cops to police the streets.

Ms. Cohen, who helped found the advocacy group Families for Safe Streets, said that while she supported the new campaign, the city also needed to take more steps to permanently redesign streets and slow traffic, such as widening sidewalks, increasing the crossing time at traffic lights, narrowing driving lanes and installing traffic cameras that record speeding vehicles.

Counties activated their emergency centers and authorities urged people to have supplies of water for several days, to keep sensitive medicines such as insulin in cool places, to drive carefully because traffic lights could be out, to have a full gas tank for emergencies and to check the food in freezers and refrigerators for spoilage after power is restored.

Belgium, who bettered their fourth-place finish in 1986, were greeted by tens of thousands of enthusiastic flag waving fans, some climbing street signs and traffic lights to catch a glimpse of the players who rode in on open-top buses along the streets of central Brussels, before heading to the city's picturesque Grand Place square.

Ranging in price from $130 to $150 and available sometime in the first quarter of 2016, the Drive line starts on the low end with the basic Garmin Drive that includes preloaded data for restaurants, stores, and other points of interest from Foursquare, as well as spoken navigation directions that guide users by referencing easy to spot landmarks like buildings or traffic lights.

If we were starting a new system with vehicles that can talk to each other and every vehicle on the road could communicate with each other, you'd have a much simpler setup because you could speed up and reduce speed to ensure that there's no traffic backups or you could actually cross intersections without stopping at traffic lights and stuff like that.

"Under the First Amendment, you don't need to be a licensed lawyer to write an article critical of a Supreme Court decision, you don't need to be a licensed landscape architect to create a gardening blog, and you don't need to be a licensed engineer to talk about traffic lights," Sam Gedge, a lawyer at the Institute for Justice, said in a statement.

The nondescript town, which seems frozen in a 1950s time warp and has one set of traffic lights, a post office, a church and a dépanneur, or convenience store, ignited a provincewide culture war about a decade ago when a city counselor, André Drouin, introduced a code of conduct warning immigrants not to stone women or light them on fire.

Others in the hamlet, which sits within the town of Islip, mentioned different troubles — traffic lights don't work, trash pickups are slow, schools are underfunded — but all of them, they say, have the same root cause: The way that Islip, a mostly white community, elects its local leaders has diluted the power of Latino residents, effectively robbing them of their vote.
