Can driverless, internet-anchored, computer-driven cars get cyber-attacked, go berserk and jeopardize the auto industry? The Fate of the Furious opens with a scene showing unattended cars getting hacked by anarchist Cipher and then rolling off New York high-rises, creating chaos. Reality could well mimic fiction, experts said. The Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport predicted that the market size of China's smart internet-connected vehicle industry will exceed 100 billion yuan ($15 billion) by 2020. We're entering a Big Security Era. Cybersecurity is no longer only about the internet. It's about almost every aspect of the offline world, and is thus an important part of national security, said Zhou Hongyi, chairman and CEO of Qihoo 360 Technology Co, China's biggest internet security company. Agreed Zhang Zhiyong, founder and CEO of Wenfeng Automobile Consultancy. He said just like smartphones and personal computers, it is possible for a fleet of vehicles to get hacked at the same time. A number of autonomous vehicles used in a ride-sharing service would all run on the same system, receiving regular software updates. Through a process known as subversion, a hacker or another organization could interfere with the update process and add in code that allows for remote access, Zhang said. According to Zhou, automobiles could well be one of the next major targets of cyberattacks. To prepare for any such eventuality, Qihoo 360 unveiled a security car by partnering with WM Motor, an emerging e-carmarker, last month at the annual Cybersecurity Week, an event aimed at raising awareness of knowledge and policies related to cybersecurity. The car is equipped with a whole set of security solutions that cover components, systems and chips. The system can detect cyberattacks almost in real time, predict risks of being hacked by calculating existing data, and deliver repair codes to cars. In future, people can manage their vehicles in the same way they deal with computers, said Liu Jianhao, who is in charge of the internet-connected automobile security lab at Qihoo 360. According to him, the Beijing-based company is offering both in-car and cloud-based solutions to better deal with cybersecurity issues. At the cybersecurity event, Qihoo 360 also unveiled a slate of smart transportation solutions by ensuring safety among vehicle-to-human communication and interaction. According to Zhang, a cyberattacker may slowly creep into software systems until the point of attack and taking control. Qihoo predicts that by 2020, about 60 percent of automobiles will be connected to the internet, with vehicles becoming the third-largest segment connecting consumers with online services. rubber bracelets ukrubber bracelet makercustom made rubber braceletscustom wristbands ukmake rubber braceletsrubber wristbandscustom wristbands no minimum202mm to inches
Premier says Washington should ease restrictions on tech products China urged the United States to provide a level playing field for Chinese enterprises investing there and to loosen restrictions on high-tech products being sold to China, Premier Li Keqiang said on Monday. Li made the remarks during his meeting with US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross at the Zhongnanhai compound in Beijing. The premier said relations between China and the US have been progressing well and communication at different levels also have progressed on track. He said President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump have concluded several meetings successfully. Li said that China, being the world's largest developing country, and the US, the world's largest developed country, are also the largest trade partners with each other. So I think it is fair to say that our common interests far outweigh our difference or divergence. Economic and trade relations between the two countries have always served as a ballast stone for the overall bilateral relationship, Li said, adding that cooperation runs as the main stream in bilateral ties. He said he believes the secretary's current visit to China will be conducive to further deepening economic and trade relations between China and the US, as well as overall bilateral ties. He said China is willing to expand trade volume on services and commodities with the US and is ready to properly handle disputes and conflicts between the two countries through dialogue based on mutual trust and cooperation. China will further open to the global market while continuing to improve its business environment, Li said. He added that China welcomes more US companies to develop their business in China. At the same time, he said, China expects the US to provide equal treatment for Chinese companies investing in the US. Ross said ties between the US and China are getting increasingly close, with huge prospects for further development. The US looks forward to seeing China further its opening-up, and is ready to expand trade and people-to-people exchanges with China, he said. Trade volume between China and the US reached $524.3 billion in 2016, from $2.5 billion in 1979, when the two countries officially established diplomatic relations. Zhang Jianping, a professor at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation in the Ministry of Commerce, said he believes Ross' visit to China is part of the preparation work for Trump's November visit to China.
