Warning! Your City Is Being Watched

All things considered, it was a mild encounter with the police. But it always comes to mind whenever I’m stuck at a red light with no other cars in sight. Why hasn't this become a thing of the past? Why are stop lights — and a lot of other city infrastructure — still so dumb? All things considered, it was a mild encounter with the police. But it always comes to mind whenever I’m stuck at a red light with no other cars in sight. Why hasn't this become a thing of the past? Why are stop lights — and a lot of other city infrastructure — still so dumb? [Energy and Capital logo] Warning! Your City Is Being Watched [Luke Sweeney Photo] By [Luke Sweeney]( Written Apr 25, 2022 Back in 2011, I found myself alone on the roads of suburban Baltimore. It was a foggy night like the one pictured below, except I was driving a 2001 Civic with a broken radio and 200,000 miles on the odometer. [1] Not far from home, I rolled to a stop in front of a traffic light that looked old enough to be gas-powered. With nowhere in particular to be, I sat and waited. And waited. And waited…. After the longest two minutes of my life, I’m looking left and right to plan a daring move. I don’t make a habit of running red lights, but I still hadn't seen a single other car yet. The coast was clear. At that exact moment, a police car emerged from the fog behind me. Just as luck would have it. World Economic Forum Predicts New Space Tech "Could Save Humanity" Right now, billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, and Elon Musk are all scrambling to stake their claim in this explosive new sector. And there’s one company at the center of it all, focused on using space technology to improve our lives here on Earth. It makes satellite launches quicker and easier, which could lead to launching more than 12,000 satellites into space. This would not only provide us with super-fast internet... But ultra-exact hurricane and glacier warnings, automatic SOS signals for aircrafts and ships, and breakthrough biotech experiments. And if you get in early, massive potential gains are on the table. [Learn more here.]( I didn’t want to risk getting pulled over and extending my trip even longer, so I reluctantly returned my focus to the still-red light. At least now I had some company. After another endless two minutes, I felt like I was on a hidden camera prank show. I looked back to the officer for any sort of signal, but he was absorbed in his computer — most likely running my plates while he had a captive audience. Five minutes had passed at this point. It doesn't sound like a lot of time, but it’s certainly a long time to sit at a red light with a police officer behind you. Eventually, after he concluded that I wasn’t up to no good, he whipped his old Crown Vic around me, blowing through two red lights in the process. I took that as my cue to “calmly” follow. [2] All things considered, it was an incredibly mild encounter with the police. But it always comes to mind whenever I’m stuck at a red light with no other cars in sight. Why hasn't this become a thing of the past? Why are stop lights — and a lot of other city infrastructure — still so dumb? Imagine intersections that can sense traffic and predict the most efficient patterns. You might never wait at a red light ever again. The Grab for America’s Wealth Is On Wealthy elites continue to hoard America’s money... They now own 89% of all U.S. stocks. And according to Forbes, they’re making so much money that a new billionaire is created every 17 hours. They use their powerful positions to stay on top — making insider trades in secret, long before the markets can catch up. But what if it were possible to get your fair share? What if you could see behind the scenes and track their insider moves before they run away with the profits? If you’re ready to tap into a hidden world of wealth led by the 10% of America that never fails... [then let me show you why Insider Stakeout continues to discover trades that deliver gains of 155%, 162%, 367%, 524%, and all the way up to 3,041%.]( Smart Roads Lead to Smart Cities A traffic-free utopia is absolutely possible with modern technology. Cameras and artificially intelligent programs can easily map out an intersection and figure out who should go first. Smarter parking lots can tell drivers exactly where open spaces are, and public transportation can respond to changing passenger traffic. There’s no limit to what smart cities can do. But like every new technology, that convenience comes at a price: your privacy. If you think companies are stealing too much data now, just wait until your every move is monitored. “Big Brother” will be sitting on your shoulder for the rest of your life. But whether or not we like it is irrelevant. Smart cities are inevitable, just like EVs, quantum computers, and nuclear power. It’s only a matter of time before the entire world starts watching you. Luckily, thanks to the beauty of the free market, plenty of companies are working to get all the benefits of a smart city without the dystopian one-way mirror. For pedestrian and vehicle tracking, the system would need incredibly accurate real-time data without providing any identifying information. Sound familiar at all? [3] New Robot Has Tech Execs Scrambling You might not believe this is even real, but I assure you this video has been left unedited. Nearly every tech company in the world is scrambling to get its hands on this tech. And investors are set to profit handsomely.

LIDAR was practically tailor-made for this exact scenario. The resolution is sharp enough to distinguish shapes and track movement, but not high enough resolution to view faces. Unlike a camera, a LIDAR map won’t be able to tell who is who. Some regions in China already have their version of a “smart” city. The infamous social credit system combined with facial recognition cameras is a very dark example of how this technology can be misused. It won't admit it, but our government would love to have a system like that. After all, it's been monitoring our conversations since the Patriot Act days. It sounds like an exaggeration, but LIDAR technology is the only solution that provides all the benefits with none of the drawbacks. But not all LIDAR is created equal. In fact, only one company is even remotely capable of mass-producing it. [3] Our analysts at Technology and Opportunity have been monitoring this company closely for some time now. Considering it has the potential to revolutionize almost every industry on Earth, I'm shocked that so few people are talking about it. Shares of this company are still much cheaper than they should be, so it’s not too late.
