The carmaker expects five to seven cities to be up and running by the end of this year, though Audi won’t say which ones are expected to be first. ”That white-knuckle experience goes away.” 
 
 The car will show the time remaining before a light turns green, but only up until a few seconds before it changes, thus hopefully ensuring that the driver looks up to make sure that the light indeed turns as expected. Traffic light information will be part of Audi’s paid Connect Prime service, which costs between $25 and $33 per month and includes a range of traffic, safety and entertainment services, including music streaming, as well as the cellular data needed to deliver those services.
– If you're the type that likes to gun the engine as soon as the traffic light turns green, you'll love Audi's new models: They include a feature that will alert drivers when a red light is about to change, Recode reports. The Germany company is first offering the feature only in five to seven cities that have centralized traffic light control control; it's expected to roll out by the end of this year. (It will be available in US cities, the AP reports.) The car will count down the time until a light is going to turn green, but will stop counting down a few seconds in advance to ensure drivers actually wait for the light to change before they hit the gas. The feature will be part of Audi's Connect Prime service, which costs $25 to $33 per month and includes other features like music streaming.
