A nice idea in theory, however most cities are woefully behind on public infrastructure to begin with. They're going to be much, much slower to roll-out than any self-contained SDC by SV or Detroit makers.
- samstave 8y agoRecall that company that was installing parking spot sensors in SF? What happened to them? But a company could support making a "Smart Curb" which monitors all traffic infomation around it, acts as a beacon, and does other things... Lots of "iot" ideas could happen from that - like all the Scooters replying to the curbs stating their location. People could choose a ble beacon tag for their traditional bikes and could have it always visible. Effectively a BLE beacon fabric in an urban environment is an interesting idea to me.
- wasdfff 8y agoGo anywhere with winter and look at the state of the curbs. Its like eastern europe. In one season everything shifts several inches up or down or out or in, cracks and crumbles, and gets covered with dirt and debris until it is warm enough to begin street sweeping again.
