F self driving cars, how about smart traffic lights? That way we don't have a dozen cars coming to a stop when there is nobody waiting on the cross road.

They can do that with simple sensors. Internet connected smart lights would be as dumb as the self driving cars. It would have all directions turned green at some point...

They already have sensors and they don't work for ****. They cannot tell who is coming down the road, only who is already sitting there, and usually not even that. Internet connectivity with other intersections would not be necessary and would be a disaster for the exact reason you gave.

Well at least the battery didn't crack open or their would have been nothing to cut open to save the passenger, and probably a smoldering hole where the fire truck was sitting too.

Self driving cars certainly not ready for prime time. Just a bad idea.
