Why it’s almost impossible to insure these 5 emerging technologies

In the current situation, most of us work from home, and thousands of attack vectors have appeared that can be used by weak actors. Making various decisions is like gambling, where we consciously or deliberately assess the probability of what might go wrong. The insurance industry works precisely on this principle; they protect if the opportunities are not in your favor. Insurers should protect their clients while making sure they are on the right risk side.

Dron as a bat.

Researchers Mireille “Mimi” Boutin from Purdue University and Gregor Kemper from Technical University have developed a system that allows drones to orient themselves in space. The drone will be able to measure the distance separating it from various objects through echo generations, i.e., like bat-like echolocation. The generated sound was recorded and corresponded to the distance from the obstacle. So far, researchers can enforce the drone’s capabilities only when it is stationary, but they are already working on using this technology on the fly. Drones would not be dependent on cameras and GPS signals, so they could help search for night patrols, especially in places where there is no light.
