President Trump requested $8.6 billion for a border wall in his 2020 budget. A set of new tech companies say they can secure the border with drones, AI, and sensors for far less" Both Democrats and Republicans are interested. https://t.co/xYOrGMOVPx https://t.co/OSYlY9GMmB — PolitiTweet.org

Keep reading for more on how much a “smart” wall could save the US government in funding and man hours to patrol the border and if this cost-saving tech is worth the privacy risks. /10 https://t.co/PT70TBvVRe — PolitiTweet.org

Sounds great, right? Not just yet. Privacy is a big concern. Advocates argue that a virtual wall using unregulated tech could propel us into a state of perpetual surveillance that could infringe upon the human rights of immigrants and US citizens alike. /9 — PolitiTweet.org

Anduril says their AI-backed surveillance towers cost less per mile than a chain link fence, a much smaller cost compared to the $8.6 billion requested by Trump to build a physical wall. @SpeakerPelosi, @SenatorTester and other members of Congress are interested. /8 — PolitiTweet.org

Last: sensors, sensors, everywhere. Thousands of sometimes-faulty ground sensors are already in place. Lidar, the same tech that some driverless cars use, and fiber optic sensing technologies are two new kinds of sensors that could be used instead. /7 https://t.co/jQBG3dBOAG — PolitiTweet.org

Next: AI. To streamline the manpower needed to review images from drones and surveillance towers, a batch of Silicon Valley-backed companies with machine-learning algorithms have offered their services to CBP. /6 — PolitiTweet.org

Next: Surveillance towers. The CBP uses integrated fixed towers (or IFTs), which are 80 to 140 foot-tall metal structures, to monitor wide stretches of land for a long period of time. /4 https://t.co/JUjkp3aSc5 — PolitiTweet.org

But there are limitations — sUAS drones can only fly for around 2 hours at a time and only in fair weather. And Customs and Border Patrol is legally restricted by the FAA to fly drones between 25 to 60 miles of the US-Mexico border, excluding urban areas. /3 — PolitiTweet.org

First up: Drones. A few older models are being used at the border now as an easy way to monitor and detect activity along treacherous terrain that’s unsafe for personnel to patrol. The new models being proposed for the smart wall are lighter and cheaper: /2 https://t.co/A7zdFONQjT — PolitiTweet.org

What if Donald Trump’s proposed border wall wasn’t a physical wall? Drones + integrated fixed towers + LiDar + Fiber optic sensing = The “smart” wall.
