Traffic Lights: Dumber Than Your Dishwasher
Summary: While we have self-driving cars and smartphones that can detect our face, our traffic systems still operate like it's 1970. Every day, millions of cars needlessly idle at red lights with no cross traffic in sight - wasting fuel, time, and patience. This inefficiency costs the US economy billions annually in wasted productivity and unnecessary emissions.
Investment Thesis - $REKR:Rekor Systems ($REKR) is leading the charge to modernize our primitive traffic infrastructure through their AI-powered Rekor One platform, which could reduce urban congestion by up to 40%. With major contracts already secured in New York and Florida, plus a massive $150M revenue pipeline, REKR is well-positioned to capture significant market share in an industry desperate for modernization. Their software-first approach delivers 95% gross margins, making them an attractive growth play as cities finally upgrade their decades-old traffic systems. While still early stage, REKR offers investors exposure to the inevitable smart city transformation - a market that can't stay stupid forever.
