Cars in the clouds

Terrafugia - an airplane car that handles and parks like a car, but can fly - was unveiled at the New York Auto Show.

True, the mass production of such a flying car is still very far away, but now there are truly "cloud cars".

Crew Systems, a Japanese telemetry company, has developed "black boxes" for cars - akin to black boxes on airplanes. Now all information about accidents, about normal and dangerous driving, GPS-navigator data, cameras and audio for each car - everything is recorded and stored in the cloud. All large trucking companies are required to make daily reports on the performance of their drivers based on the data received. And Japanese parents are demanding that such "smart gizmos" be installed on all school buses technical customer service.

In this case, clouds play the role of storing information from various sources and are practically the only convenient option for such a resource-intensive task.
