I missed the "1980s" part at first and expected an article about Google's panopticon-town. What ever happened to that?

- frenchy 4y agoI belive it got cancelled (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/sidewalk-labs-cancels-project-1.5559370 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/sidewalk-labs-cancels...).
- OrangeMonkey 4y agoGoogle, canceling a project? Surely you jest.
- fullshark 4y agoProject was abandoned supposedly due to COVID but possibly that was just a convenient excuse. https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/7/21250594/alphabet-sidewalk-labs-toronto-quayside-shutting-down https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/7/21250594/alphabet-sidewalk...
- jeromegv 4y agoIt's mostly local opposition, it wasn't really popular within the city and Google was horrible at trying to communicate what they really wanted to do with that place. At the end of the day, giving so much power to develop a part of the city to a private entity was weird.
