@caleb Thanks! So if I understand correctly, we should always subscribe to `/vehicle/traffic_lights`. The only difference between simulator and real life, is that we will *not* get the status of the light in the test track. Is that correct? In other words, we will *always* get `(x, y, z, yaw)` of the traffic light both in test track and simulator?

@carlosgalvezp Yes, exactly
However the documentation in tl_detector and Udacity's project description are not aligned with that statement:
'''
/vehicle/traffic_lights helps you acquire an accurate ground truth
data source for the traffic light classifier, providing the location
and current color state of all traffic lights in the simulator.
This state can be used to generate classified images or subbed into
your solution to help you work on another single component of the node.
This topic won't be available when testing your solution in real life
so don't rely on it in the final submission.
'''
Also, could you please update the documentation - this is an important information and it is only available in a Slack message that will get lost in time.
