Everything changed when Tesla sold the first Model S a few years later, in 2012. With everyone’s eyes on the innovator, Tesla published a patent in 2010 ( US7671565B2 ) for wire bonding their cylindrical battery cells and use the bonded wire as a fuse. Hence the competition was only among a few car manufacturers.

I proposed this term “the human smart city” in 2012. I’ve been asked to register trademarks, patents, and licenses, create manuals, launch a competition. And to reduce the role of individual cars, to reclaim the public space, to develop local commerce, to develop cultural activities. None of that interests me.

In 1800 when the Boulton and Watt patent for a steam engine ran out, new engines advanced the usefulness of coal powered steam. In an article published in 1912 , the discussion of greenhouse gasses and their effects on the environment could be mistaken for something from 2012. Yet for the most part, life continued as normal until 1972.
