What's wrong with running a yellow?
The thing I don't like about the traffic light prediction device is that it will encourage full speed travel through a light about to change or changing. I don't have the statistics but it seems to me that more intersection accidents happen at those times.
Rather than speeding up toward any intersection, I begin to ease up and look left and right as I get there hoping to avoid someone timing lights and missing the mark and possibly t-boning me. Or some airhead staring at their dash display.
Speaking of displays, I rode in a Tesla Model 3 the other day and the display in the center of the dash was as big as my laptop. Being interactive and in the center seems like a huge distraction to me. I'm afraid of these cars and their drivers.
I'll keep slowing down for intersections.
