Leaving cracks too long can eventually destroy your windshield. Actions needed to deal with windshield damages depend on the size of the pit and crack. In general, if the damage is smaller than one…

Using PC used as a proxy server (Fiddler) between Nissan LEAF app (called NissanConnect EV) and the network, it was discovered that the app use an unprotected HTTP protocol (using GET commands) to access vehicle status. Status includes charge level, plug state and time, autonomy, HVAC activation, a timer, and passed trip information. To succeed, the request requires only a valid VIN number to identify the target vehicle, no user id, no password, no session. Activation of AC even returns a user…

Describe what an autonomous vehicle is, and predict some of the challenges the vehicles might face in this Grand Challenge road race. An autonomous vehicle is one that can drive itself through the use of sensors, algorithms, and basic components of a normal vehicle (engine, transmission, axles, and wheels). My predictions for the challenge is that the vehicles will face hills, uneven terrain, sharp turns, software failure, hardware failure, and other mechanical failures. How did the teams…

After reading the article “Google achieves milestone in driverless car technology development,” I agree that if there were to be driverless cars made and cars made to where each car can communicate with each other we are kind of losing our humanity. It just goes to show that with these cars being made our technology is changing tremendously. It can be a good and a bad thing for technology to change so much.

He gives several examples of how manufacturers made choices in the past that led to different…

In present, we face with an outstanding era of technology, which left the humanity behind in most of the processes.
