Smart Cities
summary
First Tesla takes seven months to register in Singapore; a 500,000 m² Lab Campus is being built at Munich Airport to embed sensors and AI from day one; a 10‑year MIT–Singapore project aggregates anonymized citywide datasets (ERP, loop detectors, airport and port flows) to test whether rerouting and timing can move more people without new roads; startups build micro‑mobility tiny vehicles with onboard sensors and self‑correction deployed on shared fleets; experiments show data plus robotics—not just dashboards—actually actuate city systems.
