Some of the most innovative ideas for smart cities are developing outside the U.S. This story just made me laugh initially, then I realized it's all about solving the practical problems we all deal with in our unique environments.
Finland is planning to build a smart highway to support both self-driving cars and to help minimize collisions with moose - a very practical issue.

Finnish businesses and local government have a bold plan. They want to build the smartest road in the world.
