| dc.description.abstract | The industrial revolution has changed the way we live and has changed the environment of the planet. With the massive use of fossil fuels, the global warming caused by the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere has caused extreme weather such as drought, heavy rain and heat waves to become more and more likely to occur around us. These extreme climates not only cause huge economic losses, but also threaten the safety of our residence and life.
Since the advent of the car, it has become an important part of human life. With the advancement of manufacturing technology and the development of the economy, more and more cars are being produced every year. According to statistics, more than 100 million vehicles can be produced in one year worldwide. Although the car has brought us the convenience of life, the air pollution caused by the exhaust of the car, and the difficulty in finding a parking space in the city have also caused us deep problems.
In the middle of the 20th century, people of insight gradually noticed these problems. And try to use the activities of carbon reduction, de-fossil fuel, car sharing or sharing to delay the balloon warming. With the development of network technology, the emergence of cloud computing and the Internet of Things, IBM proposed the concept of smart city. Smart cities try to use the latest technology to improve the efficiency of our energy use to solve these problems and build a sustainable city and society.
This article explores the connotation of smart cities by observing the purpose and history of the development of smart cities in the world′s major countries. Observe the role of cars in smart cities to speculate on the possible future direction of the automotive industry. I hope that I can provide some opinions for those who are interested in this field. | en_US |
