A Future City
summary
A near-future Detroit runs on laser scanners and point clouds, satellites at 6,711 mph and Earth-etched fiducial markers that calibrate machine vision, while driverless cars, Amazon fulfillment robots and unmanned port cranes follow GPS and server-fed maps. The network stores over 4 zettabytes, and every second sees ~100 financial transactions, 1,500 posts, 8,000 tweets and 46,000 searches. Visible failures include biased training sets (a 1972 Playboy face), QR-code hijacks, robot vacuum accidents and machine-vision graffiti that intentionally breaks navigation.
