Audi's connected car feature barely helped me catch more green lights
Audi's Green Light Optimized Speed Advisory (GLOSA) feature
$199 for 6 months; $499 for 18 months; First 6 months free.
The Good
Easy to toggle on and it seamlessly shows up on your display • Can pace you through most of the connected intersections • The green light icon feels like an Easter egg that magically shows upThe Bad
Inconsistent and unreliable • Doesn't work in busier • denser areas • Limited availability even within connected citiesThe Bottom Line
It's an unnecessary feature that doesn't add much to the driving experience. If you drive a lot it could be helpful, but don't pay for the Connect Prime membership just for the GLOSA. The red light information is much more useful.⚡ Mashable Score3.25
