And thats a big priority. They enter minister, you mentioned, is always been very pushy on this. We are having the french that is being set up and should be working before the end of the year, and the european, very much necessary, has been passed by European Parliament in april. So all the tools you have in the u. S. And your enforcing and you are willing to share our tools that we are enforcing and trying to enforce in many cases, indeed in europe. Its not the only reason, its not the only add to but its part of the answer. And to answer for directly the question, i dont think of these tools are outdated and not working. They provide very ethically response and add additional layer of security. Staff one followup question. One question that ive had, the department of Homeland Security now has a Peace Agreement in place with dozens of countries, the numbers increased rapidly in the last few years. The question is how those agreements are being operationalized. How quickly this informa
This. This accident happened around 3 00 this morning. According to the fire department, the big rig was traveling southbound when it tried to avoid hitting an aabandoned car and then there is another car that is behind the big rig that ended up colliding with the big rig. The driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries and the driver of the other car treated and releas. We do not have an estimated time for when theyre going to be able to clear this. According to chp they have to figure out how to off load the wine on board. Half a load of wine. If you look at the big rig to the right, there is a highway sign. There are live wires in that sign. So, you have the issues of live wires, getting this big rig off loaded if it needs to be off loaded, and also a minor diesel spill. Youre looking at something that could be here for quite some time that could impact the morning commute. For how you want to get around this, i want to send it over to our traffic anchor, mike. He is out th
Them to make the car work again. Finally they told me i just had to restart and we engaged the engine. Basically i was paralyzed on that highway. I rolled off the off ramp and did get the transmission being gauged but they had proven a point it is a terrifying experience to have someone take control of this computer on wheels. Host how did they do it . It is a big piece of research with a lot of steps but the vulnerability is in the head unit and said dash board known as u connect it has a wifi hotspot and one service that was not protected. So they could call into that through cellular connections over the Sprint Network that they attach to their computer to attack it remotely over the internet to exploit that vulnerability. From there the second step to rewrite the firm where but this time on the controller area that controls all of physical components from steering to breaks and transmissions so from their now they can send a command and they spent months without protocol or po lang
Other than a gasoline engine. They will be connected to each other in ways that will make the driving experience safer and more enjoyable and they will more and more relieved the human being of the driving task. Because we know that humans are fallible and will have crashes and cars, the Automobile Industry and the national Highway Transportation Safety Administration or nhtsa has spent the last half century designing and building automobiles to be safer when they crash with innovations like seatbelts and airbags. Today we are designing and building automobiles to avoid collisions entirely with technologies like for him to backup cameras and blind spots warnings. Increasingly these technologies allow the machine to assist the driving task itself when the human driver doesnt react appropriately enough to approve a crash. Soon, technologies like vehicle to Vehicle Communications will be deployed with the promise to impact over 80 of the crashes on todays roads. The savings in terms of li
