This episode of the @corbettreport is the perfect introduction to rapid threat to freedom that is the "Smart" things agenda. Mirror/Repost of Corbetts 'Data is the New Oil' ep 324. https://www.corbettreport.com/episode-324-data-is-the-new-oil/ Will be followed by my own insights, experience, and updates of the development of these "smart" cities (prisons).

Webinar showing REAL connected vehicle infrastructure being deployed in Atlanta. From May 2020 hosted by CEO Brian and CSO Peter Applied Information. Atlanta is in the midst of deploying 1000 connected vehicle (CV) enabled intersections from ATL airport up through Marrietta to the iATL (international Automotive Technology Laboratory). The iATL is a newly formed coalition between 3GGP, the auto manufacturers, and traffic technology/equipment manufacturers. Until recently, the major comms companies and auto manufacturers have had very little public contact with the current manufacturers of traffic infrastructure. This marks one of the first public collaborations. AI's current communication tech uses both 5.9DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communications) Radio and PC5 (which is considered the start of 5G). Currently, both bands are reserved for transportation, though this will likely change. Important note: every state has different standards regarding what goes into the cabinet and at the intersection. This particular cabinet is a lot more solid state devices running on CAT5 connections than most. Many states still have physical relays, contacts, and wire logic. Some states still use electromechanical controls with gears and camshafts. I believe that the variance in equipment types and setups will be a significant hinderance on deploying CV tech across the country. Although, the risk that poses is if the silicon valley tech bohemeths decide to circumvent the traffic industry and deploy all brand new equipment. This is a definite possibility. *99% of these people are good people who truly believe they are working towards saving lives with this CV tech ('saving lives' seems to be an extremely effective form of propaganda slogan). I mean them no ill will at all, and I hope that others will snap out of it and see what is happening right before our eyes in our own industry. Best.
