How an AI-powered system helps Abu Dhabi rank among the safest cities in the world

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, transportation

Through the integrated use of sensors, closed-circuit television network, automatic licence plate readers and facial recognition software, all of which feed data into a central control room, the Safe City project helps authorities predict incidents and take preemptive action against crime or violence, said Dr Major Ahmed Al Shamsi, head of Safe City Project at Abu Dhabi Police.

“The project was launched three years ago and currently covers 85 per cent of the emirate’s infrastructure. It has helped reduce traffic incidents and fatalities, patrol areas more efficiently and take action to prevent untoward occurrences,” he told Gulf News on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi Smart City Summit.

The two-day summit is seeing the attendance of 400 experts, with the focus on the technological advances and innovations that are improving the quality of life in the UAE capital. Organised by Abu Dhabi emirate’s municipalities sector regulator, the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), the Summit has already seen the launch of driverless taxis on Yas Island, as well as the signing of other agreements with technology developers like Huawei, Bayanat and G42.

EdisonFuture EF1-T Aims for the Cybertruck

Posted by in categories: futurism, transportation

Yet another EV start-up has plans for an electric truck, and this one has a few things in common with the Cybertruck. Here’s what it plans to offer.


The Cybertruck won’t be out for another year at the earliest, but it keeps inviting fresh competition from EV start-ups and established automakers alike. The latest such hopeful arrived at the LA auto show a few days ago, featuring styling that could be described as a smoothed-out Cybertruck.

The latest contender concept hails from EdisonFuture, not to be confused with Faraday Future, and like Tesla it is once again named after a 19th century electrical pioneer. (Yes, most of the names of 19th century electrical innovators are already taken by EV start-ups).

How NASA Technology Is Improving Air Travel

Posted by in categories: energy, transportation

NASA’s aircraft flight scheduling technology will start rolling out in 2023 to better coordinate aircraft movements at airports across the United States. It follows almost four years of research and testing by NASA and the FAA.

NASA’s surface metering technology is being integrated into the FAA’s airport surface management technology called the Terminal Flight Data Manager (TFDM) that will get implemented at 27 airports around the US.

The platform aims to improve efficiency, shift departure wait times from the taxiway to the gate, save fuel, reduce emissions, and give airlines and passengers more flexibility in the period before leaving the gate.

Singapore’s Tech Utopia Dream Has Become a Surveillance State Nightmare

Posted by in categories: law enforcement, robotics/AI, surveillance, transportation

This new reality promises robotic dogs to enforce social distancing and publicly owned flying taxis to provide transportation since private vehicles are only available to the rich. The technology is currently being rolled out in other western nations, including Canada.

On a hard disk somewhere in the surveillance archives of Singapore’s Changi prison is a video of Jolovan Wham, naked, alone, performing Hamlet.
