I've always thought that "smart intersections" were an obvious step to be made when we have self-driving cars. It's nice to see work is being done on this front.
I would be interested to see if the intersections we already have could be made a bit smarter, especially when the roads aren't so busy. If computer vision was used to tell that cars were coming, then the lights could be smart enough to change when needed, and the lights shouldn't need to rigidly cycle through everything to let that one car go through.
