Google’s AI will now provide guidance to cities on optimizing their vexing traffic light schedules.

Google says that its Project Green Light, which uses AI, is helping make traffic better in many big cities worldwide. They started this project in 2021 and now it’s in 12 cities. The main goal is to reduce how much gas cars use and to make the air cleaner.

A person named Yossi Matias from Google told us how well the project is going. They use Project Green Light in places where traffic is really bad, especially at busy intersections with tricky traffic lights that make cars stop and start a lot. These places cause traffic jams and pollution.

Cities like Bangalore, Budapest, Jakarta, Manchester, Haifa, Hamburg, Rio de Janeiro, and Seattle are part of the project. They are trying to solve their traffic problems and make transportation work better.
