Anyone who has driven in a car with me in Woodbury has probably heard a similar complaint (in addition to all the swearing).

Shanley frames the question in terms of political ideologies (big brother versus democracy). I tend to think of it more as an interesting technical problem, as I have some vision-based sensing ideas that could make the light algorithms more efficient in low traffic density situations. Either way, right now it’s just dumb.
