People at MIT have lots of futuristic projects, more-or-less utopian, but some pieces will surely make their way into reality.

Presented concept of a new energy sharing infrastructure and a set of in-house sensors doesnt fit well to my idea of sustainability. how can one be self-sufficient if he ‘borrows’ electricity from his neighbour or depends on AI when fixing his own tap. It reminds me of stories about people so devoted to their GPS navigation systems that they tried making left-turns on US highways.
