they have sensors on them that collect environmental data. In fact, the cameras by default are used to generate pedestrian and vehicle data. You have to specifically add the vendor's "situational awareness" module to get a console for viewing raw video footage.
But you're right, Smart city technology is always wrapped up in marketing lingo to obfuscate its surveillance properties.
- GekkePrutser 6y ago"Smart City" sounds a lot cooler than "1984-style surveillance state". Add some light artwork, upbeat music and some stock photos of happy people and you get the population rooting for you. Just like Apple, Google and Amazon do. Yes Apple is better than the other two, no they're not angels. And really, the safety aspect is easily circumvented for the bad guys. Take a standard corona mask, hoodie and some sunglasses and you're done. For the rest of us it means living even more in a panopticon than ever before.
