Modern cars are surveillance devices on wheels with major privacy risks
- New research reveals serious privacy flaws in the data practices of new internet-connected cars in Australia.
- Modern cars are increasingly equipped with internet-enabled features, and your connected car might automatically detect an accident and call the emergency services.
- A report published today analyzed the privacy terms from 15 of the most popular new car brands that sell connected cars in Australia.
- Connected cars are also sophisticated surveillance devices, and the data they collect can create a highly revealing picture of each driver.
- Personal information collected by your car can be misused in various ways, from disclosing to insurers or data brokers without your consent to unjustified government surveillance or even national security risks.
- Several major brands fail to recognize the full scope of personal information protected by the Privacy Act, making inaccurate claims that indicate the Privacy Act doesn't apply to certain information.
- Most of the brands in the report can use the information collected from connected cars for undefined marketing or research purposes without requiring express consent.
- To improve privacy protections in connected cars, privacy laws must be reformed to update definitions of personal information and consent, and a fair and reasonable test for data practices.
- Customers should be able to easily find and understand the privacy terms of the cars they want to buy.
- The data practices surrounding connected cars need immediate attention and guidance from the privacy regulator.

From clothes to computers, 6 things expected to get more expensive if Trump's trade plans are enacted
- President-elect Donald Trump has proposed tariffs on imported goods that could raise prices in areas like apparel and technology. Apparel prices would increase by 12.5%, prices for footwear would increase by 18.1%, and travel goods would increase by 13%. Electronics would become more expensive. The proposed tariffs would increase laptop and tablet costs by 45%, smartphone costs by 25.8%, video game consoles by 39%, and televisions by 9%. Major car companies import auto parts from China, Mexico, and Europe. The industry would likely face higher prices under Trump's tariffs, and prices would settle over time. A 10% universal tariff and a 60% tariff on imports from China would increase furniture costs by 6.4%. Prices of appliance pieces like stoves, fridges, dishwashers, and blenders would rise by 19.4%.
- Retailers that source more than 20% of their goods from China, including Crocs and American Eagle, are at higher risk from Trump's tariff proposals. Some retailers have already announced preparations to increase prices should Trump's tariff plans go into effect. The National Retail Federation report estimated that the higher costs would hit low-income households the hardest. Trump has said his proposals would only impact other countries and boost US manufacturing.
- Mary Lovely, a senior fellow at the non-partisan Peterson Institute for International Economics, said it's a possibility that the president-elect will not follow through on the 60% tariff he proposed on the campaign trail. Lovely said it's still unclear how Trump would enact the tariffs, and he could end up going smaller than proposed. There's the question of how much of the tariff burden will fall on consumers, and a lot of it depends on the mechanisms Trump uses to implement the tariffs. Trump's spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said, "President Trump instituted tariffs against China that created jobs, spurred investment, and resulted in no inflation."
- Gold said it's reasonable for both companies and consumers to prepare for higher prices. Consumers are going to be at a burden, but it may take some time for them to feel it, like a slow drip. Lovely said that auto parts are an area where a lot of production is coming from China, so it's "very reasonable" to prepare for price increases. But shifting production would present difficulties because if Trump implements his 10% to 20% universal tariff, you don't really know if there's any safe place.
- The proposed tariffs could increase coffee prices by $0.23, frozen beef prices by $1.09, and olive oil prices by $0.31. Some companies could try to shift their production out of China, but it's not an easy process. Lovely said moving production to countries that are not subjected to US tariffs would take some time for the tariffs to be imposed. Henrik Elm, the CFO for Inter Ikea, told Reuters that Ikea has worked to make its supply chain more responsive to changes.

What are the factors that affect PV power generation?
- Skylight panels play a vital role in photovoltaic power generation systems, as they act as huge energy collectors. The larger the area of the skylight panel, the wider the space it can cover, and the more solar radiation it can receive.
- Material properties of skylight panels are one of the key factors determining the efficiency of photovoltaic power generation. Optimizing the microstructure of the skylight panel makes interaction between photons and electrons in the material more efficient. This improves the efficiency of photoelectric conversion.
- Sunshine duration is an important factor that affects the photovoltaic power generation systems. The longer the sunshine duration, the longer the photovoltaic system can continue to generate electricity. Sunshine duration is an important consideration when selecting a site for large-scale photovoltaic power generation projects.
- Elevation and orientation of the skylight have a profound impact on the efficiency of the photovoltaic power generation system. The elevation angle of the skylight panel should be appropriately increased or decreased according to the solar altitude angle in different seasons.
- The climate conditions also play a significant role in affecting photovoltaic power generation, including temperature, humidity, and wind speed. High temperatures reduce the efficiency of photovoltaic panels. Wind speed helps to improve the efficiency of the system by dissipating the heat on the surface of the panels. High humidity tends to accumulate water or condensation on the glass surface of the PV modules, decreasing the power generation efficiency.
- Surface obstructions like dust and shadows have a significant impact on PV power generation. Dust reduces the transmittance of sunlight, reducing electricity generation. Trees and buildings cause shadows and affect local power generation.
