Woven City is a real-world test bed for tomorrow's tech
Imagine a city where self-driving electric cars whiz along roads designed exclusively for them. The sidewalks are a mix of people and robots going about their daily business. A drone flies overhead to deliver your latest Amazon package of toothpaste, thankfully, as you used up the last of yours…
In fact, your smart house not only knows, but can automatically set exactly what temperature you like, your preferred mood lighting, play your TV shows when they're on or DVR when they're not, and even notify your humanoid robot to start cooking your favorite meal for you as you're on your way home from work. This scenario either appeals to you and the thought of having such conveniences sounds wonderful ... or it might seem like the precursor to a guaranteed fall of civilization and a dystopian future filled with privacy issues (also like many futuristic episode plots in Black Mirror). Woven City aims to integrate cutting-edge technology into everyday life, from AI-powered smart homes to streets designed for specific modes of transportation, from bicycle lanes to robotaxis.
