The relentless drive toward 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT) has created a lot of conversation about how “Smart Cities” will adapt transit systems and infrastructure.
Everything cities now know about moving from place to place, doing business and communicating will change dramatically in the next decade. States such as Michigan, and cities such as Detroit, have a huge stake in the next internet revolution (post-personal computers and post-mobile devices).
In some ways it’s a second chance after missing the third industrial revolution that created places such as Silicon Valley. In the next few years, IoT and 5G will connect 50 billion devices – from cars to robots to kitchen appliances to products not invented yet. This is a monumental shift.
