Child pedestrians, self-driving vehicles: What’s the safest scenario for crossing the road?

Crossing roads for children can be a risky calculation, especially when the vehicles are self-driven. In a new study, researchers determined pre-teenage children are safest when self-driving vehicles signaled their intent to yield with a green light when they arrived at the intersection, then stopped.

Built-in bionic computing

The use of pliable soft materials to collaborate with humans and work in disaster areashas drawn much recent attention. However, controlling soft dynamics for practical applications has remained a significant challenge. Researchers developed a method to control pneumatic artificial muscles, which are soft robotic actuators. Rich dynamics of these drive components can be exploited as a computational resource.

Most people still rely on memory or pen and paper for password management

Bitwarden surveyed 2,400 individuals from the US, UK, Australia, France, Germany, and Japan to investigate current user password practices. The survey shows that 25% of respondents globally reuse passwords across 11-20+ accounts, and 36% admit to using personal information in their credentials publicly accessible on social media (60%) platforms and online forums (30%). These practices reveal a significant gap between recommended security practices and actual user behavior, highlighting how weak password habits and password reuse … More → The post Most people still rely on memory or pen and paper for password management appeared first on Help Net Security.
