MIT researchers publish study on traffic-light-free 'smart intersection'

The video discusses a new traffic management theory where smart cars maintain distance to improve flow at intersections. This 'slower is faster' effect, similar to boarding a plane in small groups, allows cars to move through intersections without traffic lights, using a slotting system to adjust speeds and avoid bottlenecks, ultimately reducing travel time.
