That's Orwellian Fren
I'm in a buttfuck nowhere Chinese city and the city's traffic lights are internet connected and tell your car's navigation system if the light is green, yellow, or red and how long the light is

Not really, the lights are optimized for traffic and light lengths change depending on traffic levels.
The billions of cameras that use AI and facial recognition to track your every move is Orwellian.
Lights in the US already use infrared to turn when emergency vehicles come up to intersections. You could easily do the inverse without any privacy implications.
