Cars Now Have Anti Virus

The automotive world with information technology is now more near, even making them increasingly inseparable. 

Last year, in the event the Def Con, Las Vegas, two computer experts, Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller shows you how to hack into a computerized system Toyota Prius and Ford Escape.  

Now both offer new solutions, anti-virus to keep the performance of the car remains safe from hackers ( Hacke r). Valasek and Miller previously successfully disclose harmful way by manipulating the braking system in the Prius and Escape the longer run.  

Valasek, Director of Vehicle Safety Research in IOActive consultancy, told Reuters (07/23/2014), immediately shows the prototype car is equipped with anti-virus tool in the event Black Hat, Las Vegas, in August 2014. Both managed to create a device for 150 dollars that can be applied at each kendaaraan which has a computerized system.  

This tool is able to detect if there is an attack of hackers , identify anomalies in the current command and then block it. Keep up anti-virus project was deliberately continued with the aim of informing the car manufacturers.  

So that they can identify ways that can be done to maintain the security of the system that you have on any existing vehicles. "I do not care if you hack the browser and steal my credit card number. But, if to be a car crash, a matter of life and death.'s something dramatic, we want to be part of the existing solutions, "explained Valesek. 

Valesek and Miller's results show last year was troubling because the consumer could think life in danger. Action could lead to hackers car users threatened her life if it is done.  

However, the National Institute for Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) has not found an incidence on consumer vehicles where car control systems successfully hacked another person.

Australian Off-Roading Becomes a Niche Market in Indonesia

Jakarta. For years Australia has forged new a name in innovating off-road technology. Far away from most markets and home to some of the world’s most unforgiving terrain, parts makers in Australia like to think they survived by developing a knack for making do.

“If we didn’t have it we had to make it,” says Ben Bartlett, senior manager of government relations for the Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association (AAAA), an industry group that represents companies that make the specialized head lights, suspension systems and other accessories owners buy to soup up cars and sports utility vehicles after they roll off the lot.

In spite of the shutters falling on some of the country’s carmakers this year, Australia already has wealth of component makers with a track record making rugged gear.

As Indonesia’s car-loving classes increasingly turn to sports utility vehicles the (AAAA) is finding a home for their engine cooling systems, braking and roll control systems here. 

Sports utility vehicles and the four wheel drive versions of people movers like Toyota’s Avanza make up the fastest growing segment of the car market, the group says
“Interest in Indonesia is at an all time high,” Bartlett says in a statement from the Australian Trade Commission.

For years the group has been on the move participating in trade shows from Russia to the Middle East that give the country’s makers the type of exposure that’s crucial for niche products.

This year, though, for the first time, it will participate in the INAPA auto parts show in Surabaya, the biggest such gathering within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. 

Some 14 companies from AAAA will attend, more than comparable with shows in Dubai that have been on the group’s yearly round of such gatherings for a decade.

“Among our members Indonesia doesn’t just rank first in terms of priority, it ranks first by a fair margin.”

At stake is exposure to a market that will see car sales ramp up to 1.5 million vehicles by 2015 from 1.2 million in 2013 as disposable incomes among Indonesian families soar after years of rapid economic growth of roughly 6 percent or more.

This year more than a third of Indonesia’s 67 million households will earn at least the equivalent of $5,000 a year, the minimum threshold thought necessary to own a car — that’s up from about a quarter in 2011, according to AAAA’s marketing data.

What’s more, despite the capital’s traffic problems, relatively few Indonesians own a car in comparison to their neighbors. Out of every 1000 people here, 32 own a car, while in Malaysia, 300 people do.

To be sure, many of those would-be drivers are opting for modest multipurpose vehicles — people movers known as MPVs that can transport entire families of seven or more at a time. 

But it’s the specialized four-wheel drives that are attracting attention because they are more likely to be kitted out in the equipment that make off-roading safer and more fun. Nearly every big Indonesian city has a four-wheel drive club. In 2011 5,521 four wheel drive SUVs rolled off the lot a jump in sales of 44 percent from the previous year, AAAA said.

“Ownership of pickup trucks, SUVs and four wheel drives offer huge opportunities in Indonesia,” Bartlett says.

Some of that enthusiasm has to do with the parallels between markets: concentrated population centers with increasingly wealthy car owners. Far-flung outposts centered on mining and palm oil are knit together with rough roads.

“Poor suspension in those sorts of areas makes for a miserable ride,” Bartlett says.
“Australians outside of the cities know a thing or two about that.”

But in Australia carmakers are pulling out. In February, Japan’s Toyota Motor Corporation Australia was the last of four companies that said it would stop making cars in Australia — in Toyota’s case by 2017. General Motors, Ford Motor and Mitsubishi Motors have either already closed plants or are winding them down.

But the closures were matched with announcements in Indonesia of automotive expansion, shaking up a market that has long been dominated by Japanese makers with their own supply chains. About two thirds of all cars sold in Indonesia are from Japanese makers, a bigger proportion than in Japan itself.

General Motors has already taken its long shuttered factory out of mothballs. Volkswagen will start making cars in West Java by 2017 and Ford is planning a factory in Indonesia as a counterweight to Thailand where political turmoil threatens supply chains.

That influx of the biggest names in the automotive business opens up new opportunities for suppliers. But securing clients like those won’t be easy, says Richard Reilly, chief executive of the 85-member Federation of Automotive Products Manufacturers, who visited Indonesia last month as part of an industry mission aimed at expanding trade.

“We used to have four carmakers in our backyard. The dynamics of the industry have changed,” Reilly said to AusTrade. “Our guys have to show that we have better products and that they’re different from the rest. They can’t be commodity items.”

Hamilton wins third straight F1 race at Chinese GP

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton captured his third straight Formula One race with ease on Sunday, leading from start to finish to win the Chinese Grand Prix.

Mercedes showed again that it's in a different class from its rivals, with Hamilton's teammate Nico Rosberg taking second place — the third time in four races this season the pair have finished one-two.

Fernando Alonso held on for third place to give Ferrari its first podium finish of the year.
Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo was fourth, while his teammate, defending world champion Sebastian Vettel, slumped to fifth.

The win gave Hamilton his first career hat trick following his wins in Malaysia and Bahrain. The Briton may have had a fourth victory, but he was forced to retire in the season-opening race in Australia after starting from pole position due to engine trouble.

Hamilton also inched closer to his teammate's lead in the drivers' championship with 75 points, just four behind Rosberg.

With Hamilton far out in front for much of the race, his rivals were left to battle for second best.

Rosberg, expected to challenge Hamilton in Shanghai after the pair's tight duel in Bahrain, started fourth on the grid and was forced to play catch-up after a slow start immediately dropped him back to seventh place.

The German methodically tracked down the two Red Bulls and then finally passed Alonso on the back straight of the 43rd lap, the Ferrari unable to match the speed of the Mercedes.

Rosberg then set his sights on Hamilton, but his teammate was well in front and finished nearly 19 seconds clear of the German.

Vettel, meanwhile, was instructed by his team to let his younger teammate, Ricciardo, pass him for the second race in a row. Instead of acceding, however, the four-time defending champion initially fought off Ricciardo's attempts to get by.

Vettel asked his team what tires Ricciardo was using and when told they were both on mediums, Vettel responded, "Tough luck." At the start of lap 26, though, Vettel did finally make way for the faster Ricciardo and was unable to challenge him again.

Ricciardo nearly caught Alonso at the end but ran out of time, falling short by 1.2 seconds. It would have been the first podium finish of his career — he had finished second in Australia but the result was stripped after he was found to have breached new fuel regulations.

It was a solid race for Force India, which saw Nico Hulkenberg finish sixth and Sergio Perez take ninth.

Williams driver Valtteri Bottas was seventh, Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen was eighth, and Toro Rosso's Daniil Kyvat finished in 10th, another impressive showing by the 19-year-old debutant.
