Cars and traffic lights are about to start talking to each other

London (CNN Business)Cars and traffic signals are talking to each other, leaving the driver — if there even is one — out.

Top automakers including Volkswagen, Honda (HMC), Ford (F) and BMW (BMWYY) are experimenting with technology that allows cars and traffic lights to communicate and work together to ease congestion, cut emissions and increase safety.
Volkswagen (VLKAF) teamed up with Siemens (SIEGY) earlier in October to test a smart light system in its German hometown of Wolfsburg.
