The problems with the electric cars and data security

The electric cars are problematic for privacy because every time the customer loads the car, could that device send also many types of information to the unknown part. That data would contain very specific information of driving speed to location, and if that data can be connected to data, what is collected from the mobile devices GPS-systems, the third part would know where the owner of the car is visiting often, and also who is with that owner.


When we are talking about other data, what would be collected by those load points, is if the person would drive over speed, because if the top speed of the vehicle is more than the top allowed speed in the country, would that mean, that the person drives too fast. Also how the person would use the gas pedal, would that tell that if this person is suspected for driving drunken. This same data can be collected from vehicles by using "lambda", what reads the memory of the cars computer, what controls the usage of the motor and gas pedal. In those cases, we must say, that street is not a racetrack, and that's why authorities explain the usage of that information.


But there are some other problems with electric cars, and those things are computer viruses, what could take those cars to control. In those cases, the car would become very dangerous, because if the computer viruses take the control of the vehicle in the wrong place, that could cause the terrible accident. In this case, the entire computer programs of the cars computer would be replaced with malware and that malware would use car's GPS-system to find out the most horrifying place to take the car for increasing the speed.


And that could be very dangerous. Those computer viruses can be very complicated. They can install by using USB-stick or by some other method. Those computer viruses can cause the physical injuries for people if they infect the wrong computer controlled device. If that device is some kind of automobile or train that could cause the terrible situation. If the brakes of the car would not work even the simple computer virus can cause the very bad situation.

The new 3D printers are coin-size systems.

"The tiny device could enable a user to rapidly create customized, low-cost objects on the go, like a fastener to repair a wobbly bicycle wheel or a component for a critical medical operation. Credit: Sampson Wilcox, RLE" (Scitech, Tiny Titan: MIT’s Revolutionary Coin-Sized 3D Printer Fits in Your Pocket) Researchers created a 3D printer that is coin-size. That kind of printer can create things like microchips. But it's possible. Those tiny 3D printers can also work in extremely large-size projects. In simplest models, the 3D printers are positioned on tracks. The 3D printer itself is the tool, that can be part of the modular production systems.  There are visions of high-temperature metal printers installed on the gantry cranes. That makes those crane printers that can make even ship-size things. The crane that the printer controls can move back and forth and the printer can move horizontally. This kind of thing can turn the crane into a high-temperature 3D printer, that

Quantum computers and ultra-fast photonic microchips can danger even the most secure communication.

"Quantum computers could pose a major security risk to current communication systems in 12-15 years with their exponentially greater speed and code-breaking ability. (ScitechDaily, Today’s Most-Secure Communications Threatened by Future Quantum Computers) Quantum computers can break entire binary cryptography. And that makes all communication unsecured. That is one of the greatest threats in quantum computing. And this brings the arms race to the quantum age. The quantum computer can create codes that any binary computer can break. But the quantum computer can also break old-fashioned codes. And that makes it an ultimate weapon and sabotage tool.   Quantum computers can change the measurements of the ammunition in factories by changing the system calibration. Or it can delete databases from the opponent's computer systems. This thing can delete all SIM cards from mobile telephones. In peacetime, the hackers that operate using quantum systems can steal the names of the counter-

Electric power innovations. Fuel cells in aircraft and solar panels over Arizona canal.

  "ZEROe teams powered on the iron pod, the future hydrogen-propulsion system designed for Airbus’ electric concept aircraft." (Intersting Engineering, Airbus's ZEROe: First engine fuel cell powers up for hydrogen flight) Electric power innovations. Fuel cells in aircraft and solar panels over Arizona canal.  Airbus Zero is a testbed for fuel cells that are used in commercial aircraft. The problem with aircraft is always noise and pollution. If the aircraft uses electric engines. That decreases noise levels and cleans the air, especially around airfields. Lightweight solar panels that can be installed on the wings and body of aircraft can give electricity to electric engines. And they can extend an aircraft's operational range.   The thing that makes this kind of system interesting is that the "flying cars" or cheap VTOL aircraft can use them as a power source. The hydrogen power cells can give energy to electric aircraft at night time. And that makes them m
