Jussi also took me to a new part of the city that is set as a sort of artificial intelligence test-bed, if you will. Here, they are trying to implement cutting edge solutions for tangible problems. For example, the harbor is nearby, and every so often a ship comes in and unloads a bunch of trucks and cars. Well, this part of the city has now integrated LIDAR sensors atop the traffic lights, and implemented open source real-time tracking solutions to better account for the added traffic and help with intelligently orchestrating its flow out of the city. Nice! They also have autonomously driving street cleaners. Again, all of this is open source. Should we download their software model?
