Swag Bender Episode Ep30 (Part 3) An Intellectual Conversation About Hip-Hop with guest Austin Ashe

Austin shares with us how Current utilizes the data collected from their light pole installations to build solutions for cities and how that data is used to empower citizens to get involved in their city. We talk about the important role Current has played (and continues to play) in making San Diego one of the world’s largest Smart City projects. Episode 29 concludes with Austin revisiting the definition of a “smart city,” reflecting on how it has evolved and how utility companies are today becoming increasingly involved in building smart cities. We end our conversation with Austin exploring the question of why cities are hesitant to deploy connected solutions. And we close with some advice on how to overcome the fears and challenges that surround a smart city transformation project. If you’re interested in connecting with Austin, check out his LinkedIn!
