Is this have anything to do with the traffic light camera that comes up on my screen when I’m stopped first at a traffic light. It doesn’t do anything on my car except show a picture of the traffic lights.

It is believed that "Connected Traffic Light" has been discontinued.

nope, that is traffic light view. This connected traffic light is basically a service that shows how many seconds the light turns green so you can pace it enough to hopefully reach the intersection when the lights are green so you don't have to stop at a traffic light. What you were talking is basically camera turning on to show you the traffic light in front, useful in Europe as an example when lights are either all the way to the right or on top of the vehicle. In the USA, it is directly in front so it isn't as useful.

You're wrong. It uses the stereoscopic camera, gps data, and the same equipment as the other traffic sign assist features. Further, some jurisdictions stop lights are compatible and some are not. That is another reason why it works sometimes by not other times-i.e. nothing to do with the automobile. In NC, Greensboro stoplights have the feature but Charlotte stop lights generally do not.
Do you think it is coincidence that Mercedes is in the process of rolling out this new feature and the option is now available through Mercedes Me. What other hardware do you think would be needed? What do you think is meant by "traffic light assist" - is it different then "traffic sign assist"
If you don't believe what is provided by Mercedes there is nothing I can probably tell you that will change your mind. But for all others it is part of the 2.4 update as it indicates from Mercedes.

I am not convinced unless you are working as a Mercedes engineer let's follow up on following thread and see if this person has received the feature after 2.4 update https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w...-4-update.html
