How do you guys envision a "Smart City/Smart Civilization" looking at it from the Internet of Things point of view?

Let's consider just 4 examples:

Vehicles:
I see smart vehicles that drive themselves, some with passengers and some without. There will hardly be any accidents. If there are, both vehicles will exchange insurance information wirelessly. Cars fill themselves up with gar or charge or whatever they use for energy. All cars are connected to the city's smart traffic network grid and can change routes in real time to avoid traffic.

Homes:
You can control literally every appliance in your home or let them make smart decisions on their own. A refrigerator sends your a text message when it realizes you are at the grocery store. You forget something cooking on the stove and you tell your stove to turn off from your smart phone. Left the iron on and fear that might burn the house down? Just turn if off remotely. The possibilities are endless...

Shipping and delivery:
In addition to regular delivery trucks, mail vans etc., there will be drones flying around delivering stuff. Live on a high rise and don't feel like going to the roof or down to the ground level to pick up your package, the drone hovers next to your balcony and you just take delivery right outside your living room. The next day another drone shows up with your weekly groceries, but you are stuck in the toilet after eating 3 Doritos Locos Tacos at Taco Bell and in no position to meet the drone. No problem. Just ask the drone to hand over the groceries to your CP3 who will then make sure everything goes where it needs to go - refrigerator, pantry etc.

Wearables:
Your shoes talks to your smartphone and tell you when to turn right or left since it knows where your are going. Your protein shaker knows how much protein your had after your work out. Your smart watch talks to your shaker bottle and when it realizes its been 30 mins after your workout and you still haven't had your shake, it will alert you. Your workout clothes monitors all your vitals, how long you worked out, how many calories you burned etc.

I can see almost limitless possibilities with everything around you connected to the internet and having a way to talk to each other and send you alters at the right time. My head is spinning here just thinking about this.

Other thoughts?
