The chip maker and city are running a six-month pilot program that addresses traffic, air pollution and water quality in San Jose.
Intel is working with San Jose, Calif., officials on a pilot program designed to use technology to help improve the operations of the Silicon Valley city and the lives of the people who live and work there.
The smart city project, announced June 11, is part of the White House SmartAmerica Challenge program announced in December 2013 to encourage private and public entities to explore ways the Internet of things (IoT) can be used to benefit the economy and society. The six-month Intel-San Jose project is among those being showcased at the SmartAmerica Expo in Washington D.C., June 11.
