Fascinating tech in public transit: Zhuzhou, China, has deployed the world's first railless tram. It operates on virtual tracks, not physical rails.
As a data engineer, I think about the real-time data pipeline behind this: optical guides, inertial nav systems all feeding into a control system moving 500 people at 70 km/h. It's like a train-sized autonomous guided vehicle.

We are moving past the era of reactive infrastructure. The real revolution in smart cities lies in the invisible architecture of geofences. This article brilliantly breaks down how V2X and 5G enable predictive traffic models, optimizing everything from emergency response to public transit flow. It is a masterclass in how data layers translate to real world efficiency.

Researchers Just Put (Almost) Every Building on Earth Into 3D
A team at TUM just did something wild: they used AI + satellite imagery to generate 3D models of essentially all the world’s buildings. It’s like someone flipped a switch and gave us Google Earth, but with a global, machine-readable 3D blueprint.
The infrastructure for the next generation of city tech, climate analytics, and AR interfaces is quietly being laid right now.
