Awesome German Traffic light with Pong

German traffic lights are doing it right (Video)

A very modern traffic light in central Germany that allows you to play a game of pong with someone on the other side of the street while waiting for the light to change. An amazing invention and experiment in social interaction.

Germans get everything right. It's simply one of the best countries I have ever been to and would love to live there.

That's just a demo-video of what it would look like.

Two students from the University of Arts and Science in Hildesheim came up with the idea, but of course didn't get the permits to actually build one.

So, unfortunately don't have these things in Germany, either.

Yeah, if it was in NYC, you'd have to wonder how long it would be before somebody took a lighter to it.
