Complex Electromagnetic Issues Associated with the Use of Electric Vehicles in Urban Transportation

Abstract The electromagnetic field (EMF) in electric vehicles (EVs) affects not only drivers, but also passengers (using EVs daily) and electronic devices inside. This article summarizes the measurement methods applicable in studies of complex EMF in EVs focused on the evaluation of characteristics of such exposure to EVs users and drivers, together with the results […]

Do We Have the Ethical Guardrails for What’s Next in Tech?

Source: https://www.govtech.com/opinion/do-we-have-the-ethical-guardrails-for-whats-next-in-tech Opinion March 2022 •  Paul W. Taylor As technologists continue to introduce bleeding-edge ideas like the metaverse that could change how we work, live and play online, is government prepared to regulate those new spaces? Historian Robert Hughes coined the elegant phrase “the shock of the new” to describe the influence of technology on imagination. […]
