cities look like and how will they work?We all wonder!

The amount of information on the Internet is expected to grow in a big way.However,because of the relationship between Internet service providers,several problems around privacy have to be considered.
The first item on our wish list for a smart city:self-driving cars!First,we have to keep in mind that they will require special roads.
The cars will need to communicate not only with each other but also with the city infrastructure.
Charging stations will also have to be built.Big parts of the physical infrastructure we know today will be digitalized in order to make the dream come true!
All the information collected will lead to decisions for a better use of space,energy,water,and electricity.For example,being able to forecast traffic jams and provide another way for drivers will help to save time.

an affordable future smart city vision for the citizens who will live in it.
