Compact, low-rise villages and cities made sense based on how far people could reasonably travel on foot or by horse. This was true all the way up until the late 1800s. Then came an invention that let people travel incredible distances in seconds, entirely reshaping cities with dense population clusters.
Cell-site simulators ICE has a technology known as cell-site simulators to snoop on cellphones. These surveillance devices, as the name suggests, are designed to appear as a cellphone tower, tricking nearby phones to connect to them. Once that happens, the law enforcement authorities who are using the cell-site simulators can locate and identify the phones in their vicinity, and potentially intercept calls, text messages, and internet traffic.
"There's interest across the board," Michael Kemper, MTA chief security officer, told THE CITY. "It's not only coming from the MTA, but from the business world, the AI business world, in working with us."
All of Mountain View's license plate cameras are being disabled, effective immediately, Police Chief Mike Canfield announced Monday afternoon.

"Collision rates and related costs remain unacceptably high around the world," said Shoaib Makani, co-founder and CEO of Motive. "Organisations need AI-powered driver safety solutions that can perceive and respond in real time. We've added three times more compute, created the first AI dash cam with stereo vision, and added hands-free communication, all in one system, so organisations can detect more risks and act faster. This isn't just a new product; it reflects a shift toward proactive, AI-driven road safety."
This spring, a Southern California beach town will become the first city in the country where municipal parking enforcement vehicles will use an AI system looking for potential bike lane violations. Beginning in April, the City of Santa Monica will bring Hayden AI's scanning technology to seven cars in its parking enforcement fleet, expanding beyond similar cameras already mounted on city buses.
