I'm from Portugal and I don't want to go to Lisbon because it is very expensive. My point is the traffic is not in Stockholm but it went somewhere else. I live in a small city that decided to build parking lots outside the city. The goal was to keep cars out of the city and force people to use other means of transportations. The result is that now we have cars everywhere, people park in the middle of the roads and even in side walks. But back to this system, the solution is not good. They have a room packed with servers to process the images. They could do the same thing with embedded technology but this looks better because it's bigger. With embedded technology it would be cheaper and more energy friendly. Just imagine the energy consumption of that room. So you increase energy consumption to decrease traffic!? I think it's impossible to solve climate problems with these kind of solutions, they are unsustainable and the only goal is to look good.
