Smart transportation infrastructure uses advanced technology, such as smart traffic lights and connected vehicles, to improve traffic flow and safety. Proponents argue that it enhances efficiency, reduces congestion, and improves safety through better technology. Opponents argue that it is costly, may face technical challenges, and requires significant maintenance and upgrades.

Yes, but this needs to be a locally led initiative
@9NRT9GGIndependent3hrs3H
For traffic lights and stop signs yes. For vehicles no.
@9NQRP2R19hrs19H
Yes, but not until it is sufficient enough to implement it on every traffic light and vehicle to do so.
@9NQDDVSRepublican21hrs21H
Yes but its spending should be overseen by an independent committee.
@9NPXKX81 day1D
For traffic lights and stop signs yes, for vehicle operations no.
@9NMQZ5Q2 days2D
Yes, to the extent that the "smart" technologies are open source.
@9NML9K63 days3D
Yes, but that infrastructure needs to be as heavily secured and guarded as our nuclear weapons because state and individual actors could exploit it.
@9NM73FC3 days3D
Yes, in the future when our national deficit is down.
@9NFF24MProgressive6 days6D
Yes, especially focusing on public transportation being more accessible.
@9N7PSQL1wk1W
No the government should invest in public transportation and walkable cities
@ChaseOliver 2wks2W
While smart transportation infrastructure is a promising development, it is also one best left to private designers and engineers.
@9MYQ4752wks2W
Regardless, the government should invest in more walkable cities and public transportation.
@9MT2Y5MIndependent2wks2W
No, it's a public-private partnership and the private entities who stand to profit should be making the investments, not the government
@99M6G59Independent 2wks2W
No, private companies should invest in researching and developing this technology before deploying it in cities
@9MMY27HWomen’s Equality 3wks3W
No, because managing and connecting the cars would create more problem as it will allow the government to have a constant surveillance on the people.
