Theft news is
the front page news now-a-days in almost every news paper. Not just homes or
shops but even our precious car is not safe. This crime is increasing
day-by-day. Every year the police release statistics relating to stolen
automobiles. Protect your car from being stolen is crucial because even though
your insurance will pay for a new car, your premium will sky rocket as a
result. You can do a lot to protect your car by using an antitheft device but
all goes in vain. But now it’s enough, the time has come to put a restriction
on such false activity. If someone now steals the car, we can stop the car even
if we are too much far from our car.
The theft proof section of car is
RF based, not DTMF based, as DTMF system is comparatively expensive and also
interfacing with the circuit is not easy. But in this system (RF based), we
just have to place a cell phone near a RF sensing circuit i.e. direct
interfacing is not required.Another disadvantage lies with the DTMF that we
have to attend a call but in this system just a miss call will do everything.
The car shown is also pollution free i.e. solar panel is using for charging of
the battery which supplies DC supply to the circuitry.
One of those technology news stories that
periodically hits the headlines is that of the "Intelligent Car".
Now, I am by trade a computer programmer. In other words, I have to deal with
bally computers all day every day.There is an ever increasing trend to try and
make computer programs work out what you want to do and do it for you. That
would be fine if they were right every time, but they are not. The problem is
worse if you use common applications, such as an office suite, in uncommon ways
as the predicting code is tweaked for best results with the average user. This
is a common occurrence for computer programmers.A certain famous software
company responsible for both a common operating system and a common office
suite at the time of writing seems to me to be one of the worst for making it
difficult to stop their programs from making unhelpful predictions or reversing
what their programs do automatically to "help".That is bad enough in
an operating system or office suite but, put the two points together, and it
seems obvious that the last thing you want is an intelligent car at today's
levels of "intelligence". The difficult part was deciding how to have
the car's predictions turn out to be "right" but still obviously only
as a result of making the predictions in the first place but it all turned out
"alright" in the end.
