Today, the long-standing problem of gun violence in the United States has once again appeared in Silicon Valley. Now is the time to think about how to design a way out of this social crisis!
Efforts to develop smart weapons appear to have failed so far. Adding a fingerprint sensor to the trigger or grip of a gun can only prevent the gun from being misused after being stolen, but it can't stop the gunman's frantic firing.
The embedded sensor is a direction worth exploring. Biologists may use it to identify the chemical properties of anger, depression, or schizophrenia. When the sensor detects an intensity that exceeds a set threshold, it can lock the weapon directly.
In order to end the issue of gun violence, we can also think more about how to make effective use of the latest advances in computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI). Imagine if you can perform subject identification and analyze it before launching an attack on a pistol and a rifle. intention.
These innovative approaches are already mature, but they are still in the initial stages of application. Just as forward-looking automakers are embarking on the development of electric vehicles (EVs) to replace internal combustion engines, engineers must rethink the design of smart guns.
A new generation of smart weapons is expected to rewrite the rules of the game. Although gunpowder has a long history, the future belongs to new technologies such as lasers.
I know this is like the Star Trek phase gun. It sounds incredible at the moment. But the fact is that the future TV broadcasters are successfully predicting today's smart phones.
In fact, given today's miniaturization capabilities, engineers have the ability to provide deadly lasers or other weapons in a smaller package than Captain Kirk's handheld devices.
This concept further extends issues such as what might become an ideal delivery platform for this new feature. Taking the smart watch as an example, it does become a killer application, making it a platform for struggling to survive (although Apple and several start-up companies make it Show excellent design) to take off.
When the next crazy killer walks into your office or school, we hope that any worker or student will be able to escape with a flick of smoke at the push of a button. This feature will help the growing software development. The community releases more creativity, ensures safer, more effective use of these new technologies.
Of course, there are still a lot of gaps to be filled in. For example, we don’t want drivers to drive when they are angry, and even use this technology to replace the “indecent gestures” that were made in the past. Maybe accelerometers can help to exceed the speed Lock deadly weapon ability at 40mph.
This kind of smart weapon has enormous potential. It must not miss any special or extreme situations. This technology not only can eliminate the issue of gun violence in the United States, but it can also reshape the world politics.
Imagine the world in just a few years. Most Americans, many Europeans and several Asian elites wear this type of smart watch. South Korean youth can thus successfully resist the threat of North Korean leader Kim Jong Eun. In every world where Americans are laser fighters, Iraq’s nuclear ambitions will eventually disappear.
Today, we are on the verge of peace in the world and look forward to a peaceful new world. We have the most advanced technology and expertise. Now is the time to come up with iGun and other 'smart pistols'!
