Imagine a world where traffic lights are obsolete because cars communicate with each other and the road itself. This is the promise of V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) technology. In this ecosystem, a car approaching a blind corner "knows" there is an ambulance coming because the ambulance has broadcasted its position to the local network.
This shift turns individual cars into a single, synchronized "swarm." By eliminating the human reaction time—which is roughly 1.5 seconds—we can pack cars closer together and move them through intersections with the precision of a clockwork gear. The challenge isn't the technology, but the privacy: are we willing to let a central network track every turn we take in exchange for the world without red lights.
