How viable is to have the benefits of smart cities without all the surveillance apparatus that comes with it in the actual state of the technology and politics?

Yeah this is a tricky one. Modern gold standards are to use cameras to recognize pedestrians and cyclists to give them intersection priority. This is a big benefit if designed properly but video data this way poses a huge privacy/surveillance risk.
I suppose maybe there would be a way to process the footage locally and delete it as soon as it’s no longer needed but that’s going to require a lot of oversight from the community to confirm.
