    I'm sure we'll see these on the roads around the same time as we see the flying car.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Oh but then we'd need hovering traffic signals for the flying cars...

    @Jrsy is back to being the dude, playing the dude disguised ...: I'm sure Mssr. Lebedev will have an actual production model for that around the time we're using teleporters.

    @skyline6:

    Better than what?

    Old lightbulb signs?

    Sure, but the idea of using LED is far from new. You can see a lot of those around Europe or Asia. For obvious reason: longer life, failure of few LEDs is not a big deal, and much better visibility during the day.


    As for the square "innovation", I don't see how it improves the red-yellow-green part of the light... and for other displays (counters, arrows and so on) it also already exists (again, Europe, Asia).


    Thanks Art, looks nice, but nothing new.

    @fargi: Actually, LED on stop lights has been used a lot here in California. And what's up with the "efficient use of space" crap. It's a traffic signal not a marquee display.
