Game theory is about a modeled situation as a game with players, actions they can take, The game and players actions are set up in a multiplicity of ways in order to understand
and payoffs that they receive in different situations. The goal of this method is to test different specific actions a player takes in the scenario and using a tree format to understand how the

Background Narrative: 2000 - 2020
The city has seen a rapid development in the vehicle and technology market
between the year 2000 and 2020. From the start of the century there have been major
environmental concerns with how vehicles impact the atmosphere and climate
change. As this begins to come to the forefront, vehicle manufacturers begin to address this
by investing in the innovation of electric vehicles and new technologies in the current
vehicles. Corporations began to incorporate assistive technology into many vehicles such
as reverse cameras, automated parking, blind spot, and lane detection systems and more
very rapidly up until 2010. These technologies are becoming more of the car doing a lot of
the work for the driver of the vehicle. This innovation in technology has also caused an
increase in the quality of life for the people because of the safety features and ease
The use of the Internet spiked from 300 million users in the year 2000 to having 1 billion
people connected to the Internet by 2005. Along with this newfound trust in innovative
technology, the use of data and connecting people all over the world was the front
runner for the ambitions behind many technology companies. The world very rapidly started
to connect to the Internet of Things along with their personal devices – 1.96 billion people
are connected to the Internet by 2010. This connection to the Internet and source of
data transfer through the Internet became very important for the technology that was being
implemented into vehicles. The cars that people drove in were being connected as
“things” to the Internet to be able to access and communicate with other forms of data
(such as navigation).

With these two main forms of innovation present, over the course of the next decade (2010 – the forefront of this technology in vehicle manufacturing. This creates a lot of competition

technology to be improved within the vehicle to allow for fully accessible electric vehicles The city and the people move at much more rapid pace today than they did 20 years ago.

but Tesla did not stop at just bringing an electric car. These new vehicles set a precedent for vehicles combined with the innovation of technology and the Internet of Things boasts the
how vehicles are a new form of technology with on board computers and sensors to run plausible reality of living with AI controlled vehicles on the roadways in the near future.
The innovation of artificial intelligence really blew up in 2009. This was the first year of the
Google Waymo program being able to test autonomous driving vehicles using artificial
intelligence. From here, companies received feedback and projections on how AI can
increase the quality of life for the people to make their lives easier. Through a plethora of
commercial objects with Artificial Intelligence, it was Tesla that took this technology to bring
to the public in a form of transportation. As many car companies began to see the impact,
and revenue, Tesla was making from this new introduction of innovation and technology
into the hands of the people, many more companies had to get in on it.
corporations to compete with Tesla’s success and bring a fully electric and autonomous
vehicle to the public consumer market. It also brings to light many small businesses at

Background Narrative - 2030
As the city’s vehicle begin to blur the lines between a manual mode of transportation
and becoming a personal device, the innovation in the components become increasingly
more autonomous. Over the course of the decade, until 2030, vehicles are becoming more
autonomous and sustainable for the environment. The environmental impact is a crucial
step in finding alternative fuel sources to implement into the transportation sector of the city.
Many people are becoming more aware of the necessity to act which puts more electric
vehicles on the roadways. Gas is becoming an obsolete fuel as more and more electric
vehicles are put on the road with the latest and greatest technology packed inside to meet
the wants of the consumer market. The increase in electric vehicles on the roadway is
also due to the city government’s net zero initiative. This movement speaks for the city and
Scenario 1 - 2030 the people in providing incentives for people to by and use electric transportation to tackle
climate change.
Age of Early Adoption
With all the new technology being implemented into vehicles, the established 5G network
and an accurate GPS network can connect all the vehicles on the roadway to send,
receive, and utilize information using the on-board systems. The system is widely still
being tested to be able to build trust within the eyes of the consumer to change the
way they go about their daily lives. Over the course of the 5 years (2025 – 2030) there will
be more commercial vehicles that become autonomous to reduce costs for the companies
utilizing the technology. This is also a safer way to test the technology and artificial
intelligence of the system on the public road networks, driving side-by-side with manually
controlled vehicles.

The interaction of people with the “things” connected to the Internet of Things becomes coming in from the cloud and being able to disperse that information out the public through

there needs to be a strong development in the accessibility, storage, and usability of data on quality of life that the people have while being a part of the system.
the network. How do the objects use and feed the system data?
Within this decade of innovation, artificial intelligence is at the forefront of how people
interact with objects and receive information. As more money is being invested into the
technology, AI will begin to be in almost all the things that people interact with on a day-to-
day basis. The system will begin to make intelligent decisions based on data and precedent
that it has learned – this will allow the technology to be able to make the best and most
From this increase in technological development, the city remains to function in a similar
way to what it had been in the past. With Autonomous vehicles still new and untrusted by
the public, most of the vehicles on the roadway will remain manually controlled, however the
lives of the consumers will be more efficient with the implementation of artificial intelligence
Road networks and data will be able to use AI to understand mass amounts of data

My Grandparents
My Parents
My parents demographic has been able to closely experience and adapt to large amounts of
technological change from the year 2000 up until 2030. This generation is also slightly more
open to the idea of AI controlled vehicles. This group is the primary one that needs convincing
on the part of the private companies. This era of early adoption will help to yield data and results
to showcase the success of the their new technology to this portion of the public. This group
is also important because they will become the older generation when a lot of this technology
starts to become more accesible to consumers.
Myself
My generation is made up of the primary early adopters in this year. 2030 has been able to
showcase new forms of transportation and integration of technology that is appealing to this
tech-minded generation. This group of people in their 20s in the year 2030, will be the primary
market for these companies. This is also the generation that is able to provide these companies
a lot of data and feedback about the technology. Growing up in a world of technology that
is upgraded every year, this generation is enticed by the new and flashy (yet affordable)
technology to make their connection to their digital lives better.
My Kids
My kids generation have not been born yet into this early adoption era of new technology
in AI transportation. This generation will also play a significant role in marketing and brand
awareness throughout the upcoming years. The companies goal is to get this generation
accustomed to their name and the innovation and products that they are apart of. As they grow
up with this brand awareness around the company - the private industry hope that they will buy
products from them becuase they are known from throughout their lives.

the best and latest technology are buying these vehicles along with the incentives, from the
public officials, to switch over to having a vehicle that runs on renewable energy.
As more younger people are moving to the city, they believe in a sustainable future. These
people are not necessarily wanting the hassle that comes with owning a vehicle a vehicle
in a city, and so bikes are becoming much more popular. This means that the city is going
to readjust the roadways to accommodate newly integrated bike lanes for the increase in
bikers and scooters. This new wildcard is also added to the system. The technology and data
The technology company was also able to benefit from a partnership with the city officials
to incorporate new OLED screens in the public right-of-way to allow for a more public

Background Narrative - 2045
As trust in the technology has greatly increased by the public, trust has also been
built by the public agencies working for the city. With the innovation and proven data of
the success of autonomous vehicles in the private delivery sphere, new technology in
transportation. During this time, many more people are migrating to the urban environment
of the cities, which in turn brings more vehicles to the already over densified roadways. This
new generation moving to the city doesn’t want to have an added cost of owning a private
vehicle and the frustration of trying to drive in a not-so efficient environment. This reduction
of vehicles means there is a new need for more efficient public transportation. The city is
Scenario 2 - 2045 vehicles that are autonomously controlled to increase the efficiency of the vehicles on
the road.
Era of Blended Technology
These new electric autonomous vehicles help to ease people into the idea of an autonomous
mode of transportation. Planting the seed in people’s mind as to how this new technology
can add an increase to their quality of life in the city and the efficiency that the city moves
Along with the continual innovation of artificial intelligence in vehicles, there is also a drastic
increase in the implementation renewably powered electric vehicles onto the road
network. This important to the people of the city because they understand the environmental
impacts that past vehicles have had on the environment. The government’s city initiative to
provide an incentive for people to drive electric vehicles is also becoming more prominent as
environmental scientists say we are running out of time to fix what we have done. This also

comes with a greater decision to reduce the amount of privately owned vehicles on the road urban fabric. Technology is being integrated into the existing streetlights, public

generation that will in turn build trust with the older generation.
As these vehicles and technology develop, people are more increasingly living in a reality
that is blended with the digital world. The Internet of Things and the technology
associated with the objects allows people to easily communicate with objects connected
to the system. Through new smartphone, headsets, and glasses, people can live
in the physical world along with being able to interact with the digital world
simultaneously (Augmented Reality). This new form of reality comes from the integration
of Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things – AIoT. This is an important tool
within the digital world because now the system can begin to make intelligent decisions
about objects that utilizes its network. As more objects are constantly being connected to
the IoT, the help of artificial intelligence is drastic to manage and control data and analytics
of the system.
From this increase in trust and innovation in the system, a lot of the urban fabric is being
blended with the digital world. This is important to the consumer as more of people’s lives
revolve around the digital realm along with how people are now interacting with the system.

My Grandparents
My grandparents generation will not be able to see wide use of a lot of the technology
picked up by early adopters in years prior. The the companies were primarily looking
to market to the younger generations who would ultimately become their primary
customers when the technology became readily available for the consumer market.
This generation is also not able to see the widespread use of Autonomous innovation
in public transportation.
My Parents
My parents generation are the group that are still hesitant about the change in the urban
transportation system. Collaboration and testing allows this generation to feel more comfortable
with the idea and use of autonomous transportation on a public scale with transportation allows
a lot of different groups of people to test out and experiecne the technology first hand with the
benefits that it provides in regards to efficiency. This generation will get used to the integration
and partnership will be able to come around to the idea of computers controlling the system -
even though they lived in a predominately manual world throughout the majority of their lives.
Myself
My generation is has been very open to the adaptation of the existing system and changing the
way transportation moves people throughout the city. The integration of the new technology in
2045 allows people to become more efficient in their lives which increases the quality of life for
the consumers. This is also a big generation that the company wants to market new headsets
and augmented reality towards. A lot of the marketing comes from the consumers themselves in
seeing and experiencing how they interact within the city. This group’s lives revolve around the
digital world and these new personal devices are able to blend reality and the digital realm.
My Kids
My kids generation was born into this new innovation and implementation in the city. They have
been able to grow up with AI technology and electric vehicles being the norm in society. This
group of consumers will most likely grow up similar to their parents in a way of wanting the
newest technology that improves their lives. The companies continue to push their marketing
and brand awareness towards this group as they are the most comfortable with all this new
technology because they have been able to grow up with it and havent really known anything
else.

autonomous vehicles to be used in the public transportation sector. This is important to build
the trust of the consumer, as this is the first large scale integration of this technology into the
roadways.
As artificial intelligence is still being tested and developed – for level 5 autonomy – data can
be reported about the efficiency and performance of the public system over the old network.
Consumers can provide feedback about their experience and the innovation can be adjusted
to address the feedback. This relationship with the consumer, allows the company to listen to
the feedback about the technology to update the system to continually increase the quality
As the personal technology market continues to progress, the introductions of new personal
headsets is a change in the way consumers interact with the city and the digital system. The
new user interface allows real-time data and the consumer’s digital lives to be blended with
the physical urban fabric. As more people’s lives increasingly revolve around the digital world
it is important to continue to blend their lives to increase their efficiency and their quality of
life in the city. These first-generation augmented reality headsets allow for digital features to
be overlaid to the physical environment. The partnership between the technology company
and data company are working closely to innovate the digital side of the technology and the

transportation, the city has gotten increasingly positive feedback as for the trust that the
technology has established with the people of the city. The people have been increasingly
more efficient getting around the city as more and more people begin to see the positive
impact that the technology has on the lives of the people that use it. This chain reaction

Point A to Point B very efficiently without having to make stops along the way – like public
transportation. This is important and beneficial to the consumers because this allows their
efficiency to be increased when traveling along with being able to call or schedule a ride
from their personal devices which increase the positivity in the quality of life of the public.
With these changes in movement through the city – this increased efficiency has led the
city to develop modified roadways. With the drastic increase in autonomous vehicle
efficiency, the city has designated main north-south roads to vehicle transportation.
This allows for the smaller through roads to be transformed into being pedestrian

AIoT. The digital world used to be a part of the physical, but now the physical world is
just a backdrop of reality for the digital world. The technology of augmented reality
has progressed to include more vital information to the consumer. Upgraded slim glasses
allow people to gain a digital overlay to the physical urban fabric. Older forms of
physical technology are removed from reality and incorporated at specific points
in the digital environment. Most people’s lives are all about the digital and the city has
expanded to include public stations, to include everyone within this new environment.
The city government has been able to establish a program that uses tax money to provide
admission into the system for people in a lower-income class. This increases the quality of
life for the people that used to be pushed away from utilizing the system because of the cost
of admission.
The environmental concern with people was done away with when the city regulated a
mandate that made all cars on the road be electric. This body of government took a
strong action that has paid off in the eyes of the public since this older population were the
ones originally concerned with the climate crisis happening in the past. This mandate by
the agencies also allowed people to upgrade private vehicles, if they still owned one, with
the latest technology to allow their vehicles to communicate with the fleets that were

My Parents
My parents generation will be able to experience this new wave and integration of technology
before it is tweaked by the year 2060. This groups of people will also be one of few that will have
been able to see many different forms of technology as it has changed over time - from before
the cell phone - to a full augmented world that blends digital and physical. This generation is
also the group that has had to go through the most adoption and adaptation during their lives
because of all the rapid innovation of technology.
Myself
My generation was born into the start of this technological boom staring from the first
smartphones. My generation has been the most adapt to change along with being the most
active when it comes to fighting for sustatainability in vehicles and in cities. This group of
individuals will be able to see their efforts pay off as they continue to take over and advance
the technology further and to become more efficient and sustainable for the people and
the environment. The new organization of roadways has been able to positivly benefit the
interaction that people have within the physical world while still being connected to the digital.
My Kids
My kids generation will be at the age, in 2060, to realy understand the technology that is
being relased and being able to hear stories about how it has changed throughout time to
benefit the lives of the consumers. This group of people will be the ones to guide the next era
of technological innovation in technology and transportation. They have been able to grow up
with AI controlled systems and new personal technology and continually look for what is next
to release. This generation’s interaction with data and the city has been able to transcribe itself
across the physical environment and the digital connection that ties people together.
My Grandkids
My grandkids generation will be born in an era of the next generation and boom
of technological developement. They will have never been able to experience the
technology of the past and the personal technology that feels unrealistic and ancient
to them. They will be able to grow up in a world that is safer, more sustainable, and
significantly more efficient that what was before. This generation is also taking a page
from previous generations about the curiosity in innovation in the digital world and how
people are able to interact between the two and to not lose touch with the physical city.

through the next generations of artificial intelligence. These new spaces in the city allows for a new interaction for the consumers to experience.
As the system become increasingly more complex, the companies involved in its operation
and innovation partner together. Each of the main companies have been partnering with
each other and the city – the companies look to innovate, integrate, and operate the
technology in tandem and utilizing each of their specialized skill sets. This new conglomerate
company is well known throughout the city and allows technology to be innovate side-
by-side to create a series of seamless interactions between technology, the digital world,
and the physical environment. This new sense of reliability in the technology increases the
positive experience and trust that people are having with the technology in their daily lives.
As consumers’ lives continue to revolve around the digital sphere, the synchronicity between
the two world needs to be at the forefront of how people interact with the city and with the
transportation system. Real-time data and live GPS tracking allow vehicles to be a click away
for the consumers which in turn increases the quality of life for these people living in the city.
Data has been able to show the success in the implementation of a fleet of artificially

Technological innovation is
occuring at a rapid pace in the
world of personal devices. This
trend of change has not been
able to occur as fast in the
urban fabric. The consumers
are curious about the next
generation of technology
and integration of artificially
intelligent technology in
transportation and the urban
fabric. This project aims to study
the motivations and values of
a set of characters involved in
the integration and innovation
of Smart City Technology. These
characters create potential future
scenarios of the city from there
actions and reactions to specific
decisions.
An observation on interactions
and their potential results . . .
