When the cities of the future are portrayed on the big screen they usually present dystopian visions of urban decay.
But a city-building project underway in northern Portugal is out to overturn those concepts with a super-functional ‘smart city’ where the entire metropolis is run by one big computer system.
Imagine if a building could not only sense a fire, but use its lighting system to show residents a safe escape route and then interact with the traffic light grid to ensure fire engines have easier access as other traffic is directed away.
That is the reality of the Urban Operating System, which has been unveiled at the Machine-2-Machine conference in Rotterdam, Holland, by Portuguese technology company Living Plan IT.

Reader kackle joins the army of free and accepted Slashdot submitters with this eyebrow-raising story:
“I received a form letter from the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority saying that my first-generation ‘IPASS’ transponder needs to be replaced because the battery is old. I called them for clarification since the first-generation transponders obviously have user-replaceable batteries, and I wanted to keep this version because it beeps when a toll is paid. (This notifies drivers that their battery is still good, unlike the silent second-generation version, which informs them of a dead battery by sending a ticket in the mail.) The woman on the phone explained that they were replacing them just because the electronics are old. This uninformed answer made me research the device. I found that the manufacturer has recently filed a patent application for a new transponder that has a camera in it — a camera pointed inward at the occupants. How long before they make it illegal to cover that camera with tape?”
I spy with my little eye.
Time to toss that IPASS out the window and start using cash. Thank you for sharing, but sadly not surprised.
Hmm, so SkyNet DID actually win! It’s just that the “robots” are real people doing the bidding of the “machines”.
