IF YOU SLICED-UP THE BATTERY PACK OF JUST ONE HUMMER EV… You'd probably have enough juice to power 5 little blast-to-drive commuter EVs. That would be a lot less strain on the earth… and isn't that what this is all about? The answer is no. See if the EV movement was still really about being green, we'd be approaching it a lot differently. A lot less materialistically. Green has become a status symbol – point blank. DRIVERS WOULDN'T CARE SO MUCH ABOUT SCREEN SIZE, AUTOMATIC HI-BEAMS, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, & AUTONOMY… If they actually LOOKED FORWARD to driving the cars they owned. And maybe then – we wouldn't need 2,000 chips for every EV. Maybe then – we could get these new vehicles priced less than a mortgage. And then EVs might start to become a justifiable, affordable solution. But c'mon – what kind of place would America be if we weren't flexing 6+ year auto loans at $750+ per month to drive a pansy-ass forgettable SUV that will become obsolete as soon as its tech does? This is all a mess of our own creation… because we consume more & more & more. And then, we look for technology to be the savior of our overconsumption. We let politicians build their campaigns on it, and pander to the bleeding-heart hypocrites. Maybe it's common sense & personal responsibility that we really need. “BUT SMALL CARS ARE NOT SAFE.” You're damn right they're not safe… not in today's environment. A mouse is safe in a grassy field amongst other mice. But it's no longer safe in that same field when there's a stampede of elephants. Today's vehicles have gotten obese, heavy, and disengaging. Drivers use the roadways as their own personal mobile office. We're being forced to share lanes with Tesla drivers in full self-drive. Look around at any red-light & see how many drivers are completely inthralled in their own bluetooth conversations, virtually unaware of their surroundings. And to top it off – knowing that a stop sign means stop… is about all you need to get your driver's license in America & drive a 5,000+lb vehicle. So where do we draw the line on safety? How do we define it? BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT'S REALLY NOT SAFE? Replacing competency with technology… like we're doing. Requiring less of people, and requiring more from sensors… like we're doing. Catering to the lowest common denominator… like we're doing. Castrating our freedoms in the name of safety over & over again… like we're doing. Keep people safe by keeping them uninformed, incapable & technology dependent – that's the plan. And that mindset is now infiltrating the automotive industry at a wildfire pace. No driver left behind. And it all leads to more tech, more sensors, more regulations, more government control, more problems, higher prices, more delays, dumber people, and lower skills/abilities. You wanna keep people safe? Teach these idiots how to drive, or don't issue them a license. If you want cars that drive themselves, it already exists. It's called a bus, a taxi, or Uber. Vehicle should require their pilot to have some level of intelligence, ability, & good judgement. The Honda Beat that inspired this podcast... represents freedom & driving spirit. It's completely disconnected from nonsense, it's refreshing, and it's as ready to go as you are. When you & I see a car like that, we understand it. But we also have to understand, that the younger generations are so far removed from this concept… that they might never know what a true sense of driver-freedom feels like. Unless we expose them.

Ford Pro CEO Ted Cannis weighs in.

In today's world, there are advances in many age-friendly products and services — meaning that when things are age-friendly, they are friendly for everyone.  Another term I've learned for designing age-friendly products is “universal design”. Universal design means products that are accessible for all people — regardless of age, disability or other factors.  Over the years, I've noticed many advances in the automotive industry that I consider to be age-friendly, so I wanted to do a podcast focused on age-friendly cars. Many of the technology features in newer vehicles help drivers of ALL ages.  However, when I googled “best cars for older drivers”, most of what came up had to do with seating comfort, how easy it was to get in and out of the vehicle, safety ratings, reliability and/or warranties. It was more difficult to find articles focusing on technologies that could make us all safer drivers, particularly as we get older.  Contrary to popular belief, as we age, some of us may prefer to drive cars with all of the technology — but some older adults don't like all the new bells and whistles — the technology they are used to is what they like. My parents are two great examples — my Dad loves technology, and my Mom wants to keep it simple. You may have gleaned from that statement that I'm more like my  Dad, but some of the technology I'll share also keeps it simple. With a new driver in my own family I've had to learn to use these technologies as a passenger, and have promised my kids that I would try not to “freak out if the car wasn't,” with all of its sensors and warning capabilities. Tune in to this episode of This Is Getting Old: Top Car Consideration for Older Drivers: Age-Friendly Technologies/Age-Friendly Cars, to learn about a few of the age-friendly technologies in cars and how they help drivers of all ages.  Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ Blind Spot Information Systems with Cross-Traffic Alert Blind spot information systems with cross-traffic alerts are great for older drivers and those with reduced mobility–or if you're the passenger in the vehicle with a newly-licensed driver (like my 16-year-old!). This feature uses sensors to alert drivers, and displays a warning light in the side mirror (and/or make a sounds, depending on your vehicle) when a car is in your blind spot.  ✔️ Front 180-Degree Camera with Split View The front 180-degree camera helps see small children, pets, or other obstacles that may be too close to your car when trying to pull out, with limited visibility for oncoming traffic. A split-view camera can also show you what's on the front of your car's left and right sides.  I decided this was a good feature when I inadvertently pulled out of a grass parking lot that I thought was level on all four sides, only to drive right into the only ditch. Said ditch was the length of the front of my car, and my older children had a field day laughing at my error while we waited for the tow truck to pull me out. My next vehicle had the front camera, which has proven handy for several intersections in my town and when I drive in Washington, DC. ✔️ Park Assist System for Parallel Parking Park assist systems are another helpful feature for drivers of all ages. This feature helps you with traditional parallel parking (and some vehicles also assist with perpendicular parking). Parallel parking assist systems are very useful in urban areas where there may not be much room between cars.  And while I love this feature, my 16-year-old son enjoys using this feature and has been quite proud of himself for successfully parallel parking. What he may not realize is that he needs to pay attention to the angles the car uses to parallel park so he can park without this feature — because the chances that his first car will self-park are pretty slim. ✔️ Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go allows you to set your cruise control to a certain speed, and if you have a car driving slower in front of you, the car auto-adjusts to the slower speed. You can set this feature to follow one, two, or three car-lengths behind, depending on your comfort level. ✔️ Perimeter and Rear Parking Sensors Perimeter and rear sensors emit a high-frequency sound that bounces off nearby objects. If you're backing up to park in a garage, these sensors can emit a sound that lets you know if you're getting too close to a wall or another car. These sensors can be helpful for all drivers; the trick is to make sure you use them.  In the video version of the podcast, you can see that I didn't listen to my perimeter sensors when I was in a parking deck recently, and my car, Foxy, ended up in the “hospital” for repairs. ✔️ Infotainment Touch Screen Systems: Apple Play The Infotainment Touch Screen System is a great feature that simplifies things when transitioning from car to car. I've found this “universal” technology to be particularly helpful when I travel and have to use a rental car. Through your smartphone, you can use apps you are already familiar with from car to car, such as Waze or Google Maps for navigation, which might be easier than the vehicle's built-in GPS that you may not be familiar with.   Apple Play can also let you connect your phone to your car's speakers to listen to music or podcasts through the car's audio system. This feature also allows you to use voice activation hands-free, using the same technology on your phone. ✔️ Lane Keeping System I've found this feature to calm my nerves when riding with a less-experienced driver. There have been times that I felt like we weren't in the middle of our lane when my son was driving, and to verify where we were, I could look over and see the lane-keeping system. I could do this without stressing my son out and relax, and/or the car would let him know by correcting him into the lane without any verbal prompting from me. All parents riding with new drivers benefit from this technology! ✔️ CarFit Program The most important thing is that the car we drive at any age fits us — for maximum safety and comfort. The AAA, AARP, and the American Occupational Therapy Association, partnered in 2006 to offer a new program called CarFit — a community-based program designed to keep older drivers safe while driving by focusing attention on comfort, fit, and security in their vehicles. The program is designed to help older drivers find out how well they fit into their current vehicle, identify actions they can take to improve their fit, and talk about driver safety — for themselves and others on the road. They have an in-person event and offer virtual workshops. You can volunteer to help keep the roads safer for everyone. You can find more information at Car-Fit.org — the link is below in the description if you're watching on YouTube, but can also be found on my website, MelissaBPhD.com, in the blog for this episode.  If you have questions, comments, or need help, please feel free to drop a one-minute audio or video clip and email it to me at melissabphd@gmail.com, and I will get back to you by recording an answer to your question.  ————————————————————————————— About Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FGSA, FAAN: I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing ('96) and Master of Science in Nursing ('00) as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) from the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) School of Nursing (SON).

Between Herbie the Love Bug and KITT from Knight Rider, we have been obsessed with self-driving cars. Tesla has produced Autopilot, while other cars have Adaptive Cruise Control. The debate about autonomous vehicles has focused on safety. Are these vehicles safer than a normal, human-driven vehicles? Still, if your car can “take over,” should you still be paying attention? There have been well-documented cases of crashes where the AI misjudged its situation but is it user error if the driver isn't paying attention? Shelly and Seth debate how far the technology is from being fully operational. Still, is this the next evolution of automotive travel? If Electric Vehicles are the future, do they have to drive themselves?

Ford is trialling connected vehicle technology using geofencing – a virtual geographical boundary – that could one day do away with the need for speed limit signs completely. As well as potentially making streets safer for other road users and pedestrians, Ford's Geofencing Speed Limit Control system could help drivers avoid inadvertently incurring speeding fines and improve roadside appearances. Many cities and towns limit speeds around schools, hospitals and shopping areas. Seeing the signs, however, can depend on how visible they are, whether they are concealed by branches, or maybe surrounded by a cluster of other signs. “Connected vehicle technology has the proven potential to help make everyday driving easier and safer to benefit everyone, not just the person behind the wheel,” said Michael Huynh, manager, City Engagement Germany, Ford of Europe. “Geofencing can ensure speeds are reduced where – and even when – necessary to help improve safety and create a more pleasant environment.” Helping Keep Speed Down with Ford's Geofencing Tech In Europe, up to 29 per cent of road fatalities are pedestrians and cyclists, depending on the country. Setting up 30 km/h zones is considered one of the key measures to reduce the risk to pedestrians in urban areas, as drivers have more time to react and the impact speed is lower. Driver assistance technologies such as Ford's Intelligent Speed Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go already help ensure drivers do not exceed speed limits. Ford's Geofencing Speed Limit Control system is potentially more flexible and effective than on-board systems, and could in future be applied to Ford commercial and passenger vehicles. Researchers are using two Ford Pro vehicles to analyse the impact of speed limiting in terms of improving traffic flow and reducing the risk of accidents. Testing with the all-electric Ford E-Transit vans extends to all 30km/h zones in the centre of Cologne, in Germany, as well as in selected 50 km/h and 30 km/h zones elsewhere in the city. The 12-month trial builds on other recent Ford research projects that endeavour to help improve road safety, including connected traffic light tech that could automatically go green to offer clearer routes for ambulances, fire engines and police vehicles, and the use of specific speakers inside the vehicle to alert drivers to the direction from which people and objects are approaching. Ford's Local Hazard Information, introduced on Ford Puma in 2020, is also helping to make roads safer. The connected technology, now on 500,000 Ford vehicles in Europe, alerted drivers to more than 35,000 broken down vehicles, both Ford and non-Ford, and warned drivers of more than 100,000 hazards ahead per month in Europe in 2021. How it Works The trial is the result of a collaboration between the Ford City Engagement team, city officials in Cologne and Aachen, and Ford software engineers in Palo Alto, in the US. Together with colleagues in Aachen, the Palo Alto engineers developed technology that connects the vehicle to the geofencing system for GPS tracking and data exchange. The driver receives the information via the dashboard display cluster, with the new speed limit flashing below the current speed. The vehicle automatically reduces speed in line with the geofenced zone. The driver can override the system and deactivate the speed limit control at any time. In the future, the Geofencing Speed Limit Control system could enable drivers to set their own geofencing zones at speeds as low as 20 km/h, including at depots and private facilities. Speed limits could also be set dynamically, to take into account local hazards, temporary road works and the time of day. The German Traffic Code has over 1,000 types of road signs. In the UK, it is estimated that the number of road signs has doubled in the last two decades, to around 4.6 million in total, with the Department for Transport requesting that local councils remove unnecessary and unsightly s...

It may not be what you think it is. you're listening to Craig Peterson. Thanks for joining me today. Every week we cover some of the top stories in the news that are going to affect. Do you, I try and let you know about things that are coming down the pipe that in this case might kill you and what you can do about it. We talk about security. We talk about security, in light of both business and I try and make stuff available for home users. Of course, computer network security is what I do for a living. So near and dear to me, I have been on computer networks using them. Being paid for them, configuring them for many decades now. [00:01:00] And in the security business, on the internet, really since the early nineties, 91 is when I first started doing it, when it became legal to do it on the internet September that year. And, just kept growing and growing from there. So that's where we're at, but that's not what we're going to talk about right now. Right now we're going to talk about a real problem. And it's something that triple a disclosed. I've told people before about when I was an, in the EMS and we were out on the highway and there had been a collision. Someone had run into the center divider and it was being caused by this the strangest phenomenon. We had trees along the side of the highway and those trees at the treetops all had snow on them. And then there was the wind blowing. So the wind started blowing. It was blowing the snow off the top of the trees across the highway. And when it was blowing it across the highway, It created ice on the road. [00:02:00] So people had no idea that yeah, there is snow side of the road who cares. They're driving along. They come around the corner and there is a shaded portion where the snow been blowing on that turned into ice. It was absolute ice. So there we were out on the highway, we had a big fire engine full of water sitting there. That was the furthest back unit that was sitting there. We had a police car or two, I think that was there with us, with their lights on. So people would hope you notice. Of course, the firetruck had all of its lights on too. And then I was there with the ambulance and we were treating patients. down the highway, come, are there cars, right? The roads clear. It may be wintertime, but do I need to worry about right clear road? So they're doing 65 mile an hour zone doing so that's 75 80. Who knows what? They come around the corner and right. One of them is a fire truck full of water. Think about how heavy that is talking many tons and no way to stop. [00:03:00] So we had a car plow right into the rear end of the firetruck and it pushed it forward feet forward. It was just amazing the impact. And then another car came and ran right into the back of that car. And another car came and ran into the back of that. So we had four cars there in this now multi-vehicle accident. it's one thing to have that happen when the conditions are like that. And you're not really sure. And you're not driving at a safe speed for the road conditions. It's another thing. When you've got a car, a brand new car that has built into it, this adaptive cruise control that's designed to keep you safe, To make your life more valuable, right. And easier and better. But what are people doing? you might've seen the video of these two guys in a Tesla. I think it was a model ass going down the mass pike. Apparently sound asleep. Somebody took a video of, following them for a few minutes there on the pike shooting through their side window and sure enough, they weren't moving, probably were asleep. [00:04:00] People have gained a lot of confidence in this and there are some misrepresentations. If you ask me from some of these vendors, Where they're saying, yeah, it's not just an adaptive cruise control anymore. It's not lane assist anymore. It's self-driving. We hear that all the time, self-driving, and most of them require you to have your hands on the steering wheel. Some of them watch your eyes to make sure that you're paying attention to the road. Maybe not a hundred percent, but pretty close. And then. They'll do things like I, I like what Cadillac was doing. They probably still are, but the seat shakes to wake you up. Hey, come on, pay attention here. [00:05:00] That's a really good idea. But people are doing, 80 miles an hour down some of these big roads, right? Without thinking twice about doing something else at the same time. Here's the problem we're finding it. Isn't just these people in the winter who were rear-ending the firetrucks out on the turnpike what's happened now is we're seeing these self-driving car rear-ending fire engines. How could you rear-end a fire engine? It does not exalt itself. Little tiny car, right? They'll remember those little Honda roller-skates from back in the seventies, right? It's a big object on the road, in the middle of the lane. So some of these cars have been rear-ending firetrucks. Some of them have been rear-ending other vehicles like police cars and others. So AAA now has a report out. That's just absolutely amazing published by our friends over at. ARS Technica. You should check them out if you haven't checked them out recently, they've got a lot of great information out there on their website, but Ars Technica was covering this article. [00:06:00] That was part of this little study. The AAA did. Now, how big a study? they had 800 hours on these cars looking at them. They had cars from a senior was GM Ford, Sue brew, BMW, and KIA. And none of them really pass this test. What was the test? they made a car it's the same size and looks the same as well. Like a Toyota Prius type car. So it was inflated. So if you were to hit it, nobody would tie, That's always a good idea. And it was, however, providing a visual clue. It looked like a car, it reflected radar. If the device was using radar, they don't really use that nowadays. So there was mimicking the real world conditions. [00:07:00] It wasn't just sitting off the road, right? It wasn't one of these things that were as one wheel off the road, it was sitting right there in the lane. So they tested these self-driving cars also known as adaptive cruise control, emergency braking. Let's see what happens when that car comes up to my fake car. Is it going to slow down? Is it going to change lanes? Is it going to emergency brake at the last minute? What's it going to do right. Something you really need to know if he's vehicles so on. Fortunately what they found wasn't good news. The bottom line is they found most of these vehicles rear-ended that fake car sitting on the road. [00:08:00] That is a very bad thing. And it's not just Tesla's autopilot. That's struggling with parked vehicles. Oh no, it was everybody. All of them. the national transportation safety board has investigated several fatal crashes involving Tesla where the vehicles were using autopilot, something we know. Okay. Something again, they've got up in the ARS Technica Article. There's a number of other ones that are out there that kind of autopilot type of capabilities, but the USA, or I should say AAA was very disappointed here. So they did some quality, the testing of the five cars it's on public highways. So they did 800 miles of testing. They had drivers in the BMW, in the Ford, in the Kia, and the Subaru. And they drove them that 800 miles. Wow. If you have the driver there, the whole idea is, does the driver have to intervene? Does he have to grab that steering wheel in kind of jerk it, to avoid something or hit the brakes or do something else in order to stop a crash, right? [00:09:00] Stop somebody from getting hit or going off the road? according to AAA. They found the drivers in the BMW Ford Kia and Subaru cars had to intervene dozens of times mostly because the vehicles seemed to be drifting out of its lane. When we get back, we're going to be talking about our next advert today, artificial intelligence. So bottom line people. If your car has adaptive cruise control, that's all it is. Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the steering wheel and move. We'll be right back. Check me out online.

Good morning everybody! I was on with Matt this morning and we had a good discussion about Self-Driving Cars, Adaptive Cruise Control, and what AAA found about their programming logic. Then we got into Tik Tok, WeChat, and Tencent and Why what President Trump's action was absolutely justified.   Let's get into my conversation with Matt on WGAN. These and more tech tips, news, and updates visit - CraigPeterson.com --- Automated Machine Generated Transcript: [00:00:00] Craig Peterson: Is it going to avoid it by changing lanes? By stopping? What it going to do? In almost all the cases, these cars rear-ended this car slash balloon that was sitting right there in the lane. Hey, good morning, Craig Peterson here. I had a great little interview this morning. I was on WGAN and affiliates AM and FM they're in Maine in Portland. And I having fun with Matt. He actually took a little bit of a different angle on this, this morning. So we talked about what I think is the number one story this week. And we talked about what our friend Matt thinks. The number one story is this week. And, uh, yeah, I opened his eyes. He didn't realize what was really going on with President Trump's executive order about Tik Tok and We Chat. So here we go. [00:01:00] Matt Gagnon: It is Wednesday morning. It is Craig Peterson who joins us now. He is our tech guru and joins us every Wednesday at this time. We appreciate it as always. Craig, how are you this morning, sir? Craig's try it again. Where are you? There you go. There we go. Now I hear from you. Craig Peterson: There's always a button. Matt Gagnon: There is always a button and it's good to have you with us and Craig, you know, I am told, although I'm not certain about this, I am told that you also have a show on Saturday here. Is that true? Craig Peterson: Yeah, I do from one til three on Saturday, and I take a much deeper dive into all of my show notes and the hot topics for the week. And you know, if you get my newsletter, not only do we discuss some of this stuff with Matt, but we get right into it all. Matt Gagnon: Indeed. So Craig, on what's on the top of your mind, here's a, I'm going to approach this a little differently with you usually, because I know you send a, you send the topics every week and we talk about a lot of the things that you're talking about, but what is this. [00:02:00] Stand out the story for you this week, in terms of tech topics, what is the thing that, that burns in your mind about what you said? Yeah, Craig Peterson: Burning a hole here. I think kind of a big one. We've got the obvious things were some real problems with security, but that's kind of almost every week. The one that really gets to me is this article. That's talking about a AAA study. Now everybody knows who AAA is. They are as car folk, right. That you can drive. They used to have trip ticks. I remember making those up and taking the family on vacation. Now they've, they've kind of shifted a little bit, but they were looking at these adaptive cruise controls and basically what most people are calling self-driving car technology. [00:03:00] And there've been some reports of these adaptive cruise control, this self-driving technology, driving people right into the rear of fire trucks, from which, of course, is not a fun thing to hit, of police cars and other things. So basically, they thought they would check it out a little bit, and then he tested a number of different vehicles and the way they tested them as they parked a balloon on the road. A lot like a car and it was designed here now to give the car an object. So you're driving down the road with your adaptive cruise control on that car sitting there. Is it going to avoid it by changing lanes, by stopping? What's it going to do? And in almost all of the cases, these cars are rear-ended this car slash balloon that was sitting right there in the lane. I don't mean like it's two inches into the lane. I mean, it was right in the lane. To me, that is huge news because we have all been looking forward to good automation, which of course isn't here yet, but many of us have these adaptive cruise controls, Matt. [00:04:00] Matt Gagnon: Right. I was going to say, this is already a technology that is in like a lot of Tesla cars and a lot of other places that have this adaptive sort of technology that, uh, that I think Lee makes a lot of people feel. Like if it's in the car and sellable to you right now that it's totally safe and you're fine. And you can, you can just kinda like put it on cruise control almost and let it do the rest. Craig Peterson: Yeah. So, it's not a hundred percent of the time. Some of the cars, like the BMW X7, stopped in one out of three runs and that new Kia Telluride, which is a gorgeous car. I hit the dummy vehicle in all three 30 mile-an-hour runs. The problem appears to be that they have maps of the roads and it doesn't have that map doesn't have everything that's around the road. Of course, the surroundings are changing, and these cars seem to be assuming that if something is fixed. It's probably off of the road. It's probably a road sign except, or et cetera. [00:05:00] And this is where the big arguments coming out now, are we better off having something like LIDAR on our cars, which is giving it a full three-D view. It can figure out if things are moving, where they are. In respect to you. Or go with what Tesla is doing because Elon Musk and Tesla are very heavily reliant on just cameras. So, they don't use a three-D view. Yeah. So, what's going to work best and there still are some radar-based systems. And that's the check really from 10 to 20 years. Matt Gagnon: And those things basically, I mean, they send out like a, almost a Doppler signal to see. Where things are and, and, and basically how physically close they are. And they use, you know, the complex math system and the computers to try to judge the car's speed and angle and whatever, to try to make sure that, of course, it avoids things. It just, it strikes me as weird. That be the way that we want a car that is autonomous in some way to operate. Right. I mean, you want, you know, who cares if a stationary object is a sign or something else if it's on the curb of the road and you're about to run into it. You want a car to see that? I mean, think about it like a kid that's frozen or a deer that's not moving or, I mean, any number of things, right. You want to be able to judge where that thing actually is. [00:06:00] Craig Peterson: Yeah, absolutely. So these adaptive cruise control. If you have it and you want to use it, what it is is good for is keeping you in the lane. What is not good for it appears here from this study is avoiding accidents. By the way, Cadillac's super crew. Was it different than some of these other vehicles they tested from being BMW Ford, Kia and Subaru at its drivers only had to intervene about eight times and 800 miles of driving. So, it was actually pretty good. So, these things are going to get better, but just don't trust the stuff itself. [00:07:00] Matt Gagnon: Craig Peterson, our tech guru joins us at this time every Wednesday to go over the world of technology, Craig, it would be remiss of me to not bring up Tik Tok with you here. I know that we've touched on and hovered around this topic a little bit, uh, you know, in previous weeks here, but you know, the president signed that executive order that basically threw the hammer down on the Chinese company. Any part of Tik Tok as it operates in the United States? Um, I guess my question for you is, is twofold. Number one, exactly. How does it work? What, what they're, what that app is doing, and what is the real security concern, and then number two, what do you think of the executive order? I mean, is that the appropriate action to be taking in this regard? Craig Peterson: Yeah, we've got a couple of things we're looking at here. We have WeChat and Tik Tok, which are both equally effective money transactions were banned from these Chinese companies. So it's Bytedance and Tencent. Those are the names of the companies that own those technologies. [00:08:00] Now, we have caught our friends at Tik Tok multiple times now getting information from our phones and stealing information from our phones. Particularly if your phone has been rooted, if you have jailbroken your phone, you have now opened up your phone to all kinds of evil, and we have caught Tik Tok doing that. Tencent, this is really kind of scary here because this is, this is a bad thing for Tencent, but I talked about Tencent on my show a couple of months ago here, because what they were caught doing is putting code into windows operating system that allowed them 100% access to everything on your machine, from your keyboard and mouse. Through every file on your machine. And Tencent said they did that in order to help stop cheating. Tencent has some of the most popular video games in use today in the United States. Tik Tok, of course, which is Bytedance has this wonderful little app. That's very, very addictive. And obviously the Chinese spent a lot of money on it. [00:09:00] Is it worth doing? I can say. Absolutely. Yes. I was so disappointed the owners and CEOs of these big tech companies, testifying, I have personally seen right here, multiple companies throughout New England who are now clients of mine who had. Active Chinese back doors in their systems where the Chinese had stolen their intellectual property. And in some cases, yeah, stolen every penny out of their operating accounts. So, is China a threat? 100%! Is it doing it? I have firsthand knowledge of them doing it in companies that are now my clients. And it puts businesses just completely out of business. Is Tik Tok a threat. Absolutely. The latest thing they were caught doing is capturing everything from your copy buffer. Is Tencent a threat? Are you kidding me having complete control over your computer without your knowledge? So you can play a video game. Yeah, I don't think President Trump went far enough. [00:10:00] Matt Gagnon: There you go. Well, Craig Peterson, our tech guru joins us at this time to go over the world of technology as he always does. And of course, as you heard just a few moments ago, he also has a show on Saturdays that you can hear as well. If you want to get any of these topics and so many more in more depth and detail, Craig, we really appreciate it as always. And we'll talk to you again very soon. Craig Peterson: Hey, take care, Matt. Matt Gagnon: Thanks a lot. Alright, so coming up next. Sure. Craig Peterson: Hey, thanks, guys. I appreciate you joining me today. I was spent time yesterday, a few hours with our video guy. We're going to do some more work today. And what I'm trying to do here is put together a bunch of well kind of classes, courses, and stuff. So I think what I'm going to do before really get into this too much is send out an email. [00:11:00] To everybody kind of asking you. So what if you had the opportunity, what would you do? So, uh, or what you'd like me to do here for you? Uh, for instance, you want to become like, uh, my friend Guy who decided after a full career, pretty much he wanted to go into cybersecurity. Cause there are millions of open jobs, even right now there are jobs in cybersecurity, but you have to learn it. So do you want me to teach you guys? More about cybersecurity. So you have more job security and job options. Would you like me to just kind of get you out of a hole that you might be in with your cybersecurity? What do I do? What are the basics? Then give me the basics or something in between. So let me know. [00:12:00] I would love to know. Okay. Cause I really want to help you guys out. It's me M E @craigpeterson.com. So drop me an email. Now I'm going to do a lot of free training as well as some of the paid training. And obviously the free training is going to be kind of long-tail just on some specific narrow topics, but lots of them, cause I don't want to confuse people, but uh, how about a more professional sort of course. So let me know. Again, Craig at Craig peterson.com. Take care, everybody. And we'll be back this weekend. ---  More stories and tech updates at: www.craigpeterson.com Don't miss an episode from Craig.

Mercedes Classe R restyling sostanzioso Commercializzata nel 2006 e già venduta globalmente in circa 100 mila esemplari – oltre 7.000 dei quali in Italia –, la Mercedes Classe R si rinnova migliorando ulteriormente quelle doti di flessibilità, versatilità e capacità di carico che ne hanno fatto un punto di riferimento nel segmento delle grandi crossover. Prodotta nello stabilimento di Tuscaloosa (Alabama) La Classe R è disponibile a passo corto oppure lungo, con trazione posteriore oppure integrale 4Matic. Su entrambe le versioni sono di serie cinque posti, elevabili a 7, su richiesta. I ritocchi estetici del recente restyling hanno riguardato soprattutto il frontale, ora caratterizzato da una griglia alta e da fari ridisegnati. Novità anche all’interno: gli ambienti bicolore sono stati arricchiti da dettagli in alluminio e cromati, oltre a stravaganti modanature in legno. Numeri positivi riguardano anche la capienza del bagagliaio ai vertici della categoria con una volumetria di 2.385 litri e una lunghezza di carico che supera i due metri. La vincente strategia BlueEfficiency di casa Mercedes è stata ovviamente alla base del rinnovamento della gamma motoristica, tanto da rendere la Classe R la vettura più parsimoniosa ed ecologica del segmento. Sei i propulsori al lancio, tre benzina e tre diesel: V6 3.000 da 231 cavalli, V6 3.500 da 272 cavalli (4Matic) e V8 5.500 da 388 cavalli (4Matic e solo a passo lungo) e tre Cdi V6 3.000 da 211 cavalli (BlueTec, solo a passo lungo, già Euro6 e già acquistabile in tutti gli stati Usa), da 190 cavalli BlueEfficiency e 3.500 da 265 cavalli (4Matic). Il diesel più potente vanta 41 cavalli in più rispetto al precedente e consuma quasi un litro in meno ogni /100 km. Tutte le versioni sono equipaggiate con l’innovativo cambio automatico 7G-Tronic, ottimizzato per il risparmio di carburante in modalità automatica “Drive”. La Classe R dispone di alcuni dei più avanzati sistemi di sicurezza, come il Blind Spot Assistant, l’Adaptive Cruise Control, il Pre-Safe (protezione preventiva passeggeri), il poggiatesta Neck-Pro e 8 airbag. I prezzi spaziano dai 53.650 euro della 300 a benzina agli 83.000 euro della 500 4Matic, passando per i 55.290 euro della 300 Cdi a gasolio. La prevendita è già iniziata perciò se cercate un’auto lussuosa, comoda e molto capiente, questo è il momento per prenotare la nuova Classe R.
