I read through most of the article but didn't see motion sensors mentioned. A lot of suburban streetlights are lighting up empty streets at night. With a combination of motion sensing and LEDs, lighting could follow pedestrians. Cars really don't need street lights in most cases but even then, in higher risk areas, motion sensors could turn on streetlights just as long as needed.

A motion sensor activated light unpredictably turning off and on on my street would be worse than the steady street lamps we have now. It would be even more distracting and annoying.
