The coronavirus pandemic has made a fundamental change in the way Americans take vacations--at least for the time being. According to Business Insider, vacationers nervous about flying are taking to the road and are staying closer to home. The usual distance is about 100 miles away. They're also booking the same place multiple times, travelling just so they can work remotely from somewhere else as a change of pace. Roadtrippers are having a significant impact on the economy. There's been an uptick in retail sales for auto parts and sporting goods. Also, older millennials and Gen Xers entering the market for the first time, rather than retirees, are making up the bulk of the unprecedented demand for RVs.

What colour will the next traffic light be if I continue to drive at this speed? The answer to this question no longer depends on driver intuition, but rather on technology. A project led by SEAT, in collaboration with the Spanish Traffic Authority, the Barcelona City Council and ETRA successfully connects vehicles with traffic lights and the traffic control centre so drivers can anticipate their upcoming status. This project also enables information on motorway incidents to get sent directly to vehicles without the need for information panels, bringing cars and infrastructure together via the cloud using cellular technology with latency times of 300 milliseconds.
