It is probably a reference to a system which (if it is installed) "reads" signals from authorized emergency vehcles (law enforcement, EMS or FD) and automatically changes the intersection traffic lights to favor the direction in which the emergency vehicle is travelling.
No one really controlls the traffic lights. A computer system controls the traffic lights, and no humans are involved with controlling the traffic lights day in and day out. It is all automated these days.
The government and traffic lights
If the ambulance isn't using its lights and sirens, just follow normal traffic laws. If it is, you'll need to pull over to the side of the road and wait for it to pass.
The flashing lights on an ambulance are commonly referred to as emergency lights or warning lights. These lights are used to alert other drivers and pedestrians to the presence of the ambulance, indicating that it is responding to an emergency. The lights typically flash in a pattern to enhance visibility and signal the need for immediate right-of-way.

Technically a driver is not allowed to break any traffic laws to get out of the way of an ambulance, as such she should not have run the red light. If the ambulance had its lights and sirens on, then you are both at fault since you both should have pulled over.
Yes.
The new traffic lights are now LED lights and do not ever burn out.

No, because traffic lights are charged, not naturally bright.
When following an ambulance, it's generally advised to stay at least 500 feet behind it to allow for proper clearance and to not obstruct its path. However, if the ambulance is responding with lights and sirens, it's best to give it as much space as possible and pull over to the side of the road. Always abide by local traffic laws and regulations regarding emergency vehicles.
