There are many problems with self-driving car

Computer programs what are controlling the self-driving car are very complicated. And those vehicles are under development, and there is always the driver when those vehicles are operating in some area. Uber has made lots of work about the security of their autonomous driving taxis. And this was the sad accident for that pedestrian.  If there is a single error in a program, the computer cannot control the vehicle. The results would be terrible and sad because the car would kill somebody.


But that kind of news is causing terrible thoughts in my mind. If somebody wants to make murder by using the car as the weapon, might this person able to make the computer program what makes the car as an invincible weapon. And when the normal taxi drives on the road, it would suddenly turn and hit some person.


This is the problem with the self-driving cars. If somebody wants to hurt some innocent persons,  he might just change those car’s controlling program. And the results would be devastating. Also, somebody would want to make assassinations with autonomous vehicles, by connecting their controlling program the thing, what is called as “ghost protocol”. In this scenario, somebody would make the car a terrible assassination weapon. And then the strike is done, would that program terminate itself.


The “ghost protocol” means that in the controlling software would be injected the code, what reacts, when the targeted person is visible. That code makes the car attack to that targeted person. In normal drive, those self-driving cars seem like harmless, but when they would notice the target, that would begin the attack against that victim. The computer of the car would get the image of the targeted person or another vehicle, and then this car would transform real life “Christine”.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
