Smart Cities
Instrumented, and hopefully more liveable.
Urban technology is maturing past sensor pilots toward measurable outcomes in transit reliability, energy use and permitting speed.
Latest developments
Technologies
Mobility & EVScaling
Autonomous Vehicles
Vehicles that perceive their surroundings and drive without a human operator, ranging from robotaxis to yard trucks and delivery pods.
SpaceScaling
Earth Observation
Satellite constellations that image and sense the planet continuously, across optical, radar and hyperspectral bands.
Trends
Signal
General-purpose robots are starting narrow
Humanoid platforms are being sold as general labour but deployed on single repetitive tasks, because that is where data, safety cases and payback periods are tractable.
SignalMeasurement is becoming the product
Satellites, sensors and models are converging on a market for verified answers — emissions, crop yield, construction progress — rather than raw data feeds.
