How to recharge electric car without the need to stop or use combustion motor for loading the batteries, is the major problem with the development of the electric cars. If somebody solves this problem, the driving with that device would be very comfortable and ecological. One very interesting version of loading the electric cars is to use the electric wires, what is mentioned for electric buses and trams. When the electric car needs the recharge, that would just raise the loading boom up to the wires.


And that could recharge the batteries very comfortable Another way is to use the wireless loader, what is actually the copper stick, that would rise near the electric wires, and it can be conducted electricity to the batteries of the car. Those high voltage lines would assembly to the tunnels and other safe places, and when the car drives near them, it just raises the stick to near the wires, and then the system might be loaded in very high speed, and this would make traveling with those cars easily than it is today.

There is another idea of using this kind of systems to load the batteries and giving power to electric motors. That system can be used in electrically powered drones, what might have the problem to get electricity for the long-term operations in the area, where the sun doesn't shine in the winter. electric engines would allow those drones operate silently and in the many operations like following the water lines, and in the accident situations, operate as the extra communication platform, what can also surveillance the situation by using cameras and other sensors. Reaper- type drones (Picture II) can also operate by using electric motors


One of the major problems with those drones is, that they would not able to land in those situations for refueling, and one way is to use high voltage lines for charging the batteries of those drones. They could fly in the same line with electric wires, and drop the boom to the wires, and that electricity can load the batteries of those silent and ecological drones. Those electric engined drones can also use for military purposes because if they are made with STEALTH-materials, the radar cannot see them and because the electric motor doesn't leave the infra-red signature, would the drone be difficult to locate.


Those drones would not have very long wings, and they are more maneuverable than solar power drones. They might also use solar panels, but that system gives only auxiliary power to that system. There is also capable to use the capillary tube, what sucks the air thru it, and then the air flow would rotate the turbine and dynamo. That tube would also be used as the loader, what brings electricity from the wires. This system was invented by some university, but I don't have the link to that article.

Thoughts about robot cars

http://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.fi/p/thoughts-about-robot-cars.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Technical evolution is one thing, what seems like science fiction, but then we must realize, that all advantages of technology are actually evolution. By looking things from this visual angle the technical evolution is research and development new kind of technology. And this means that all technical advantages for products are the reason for technical evolution. The evolution of cars have gone thru the very high-power engines, what consumption was 15 liters of gasoline to the Tesla's hybrid-cars, what can drive with absolute small consumption. In this text, I would handle the robot cars mainly in the visual angle of hardware. So I don't write much about complicated software, what is needed for those vehicles.



First came ABS brakes and electronic ignition and fuel injection systems for the brakes and motors and next version of automation in cars would be the car, what would drive independently. This kind of cars are actually already in traffic, but there are some problems with them, and one of those vehicles have caused death for one pedestrian. In this case, the driver or control of the vehicle might do something, what turned the attention away from traffic, and then happened terrible accident. This kind of things can cause the problems for marketing the robot cars, because the question is, "who wants to buy an independently driven car if the driver must act like in the normal car, and stare out the window"?



Why somebody wants to pay for that, because we have the vision, that the robot car allows us to read newspapers while that vehicle would drive independently to the target point. And then we would get instructions, that we must look outside from the vehicle all the time when it is in traffic, and that would be the very big disappointment for the users and customers. When we are thinking about regulations, that the driver should be ready to take control of his vehicle, we must ask what kind of actions must the controller have to make driving safer. The main control equipment could be the pedal, what makes the car stop.



It can work like locomotive's "dead man's pedal", what must be pressed down when the car is on the road. The safety of those vehicles is absolutely important, and there would be a long time before real robot cars will hit the road. And also the safety of computer systems and artificial intelligence must become more advanced, that they have been because if hackers would take that kind of car in control, would the result be terrible. In the worst case the hacker might put the Image recognition system to those vehicles, and then put some person picture in that computer, and if some person would order to extermination would the result be very bad.



One of the worst thing, what the man can do, is leave everything under the responsibility of technology. In the so-called wise cars is the computer as "brains" of this system. And this system observes the function of this vehicle. And this is the problem, because if there would be the malfunction in this system, would the vehicle make the unexpected action. If those computers would infect by viruses, they would get dangerous, and hackers would use this kind of systems as the murder weapon. In the robot, cars is a camera system, what mission is to observe the surroundings of this vehicle, and one of the biggest problems of this system is the dust.



That might cover the picture of the camera from image recognition system, and cause the accident. Use of sonars and laser-systems is problematic, because the human body is soft, and the sound waves would not give echoes from the soft targets. Those systems can also disturb animals like dogs. Lasers have the same kind of problems as other visual systems, if those systems get dirty, they would not work perfectly. There are also problems with computers because they would not have the capacity to create anything new.



And if those robot vehicles would come to the unexpected situation, they maybe cannot make right decisions. Sometimes I have written that in difficult those vehicle's computer systems might call assistance from another computer by using the Internet. But the problem is that in tunnels those systems might not work perfectly, and in this case, standard mobile telephone network has similar problems with satellite communication, and those tunnels can also jam GPS. This makes the creating robot cars very difficult.

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”.
