In many ways, the rapid changes in technology have made people's lives better. However, in the Internet era, every click is a process of data uploading and collection, and the question becomes what should tech companies do with that information?

Liu Jianhao, director of 360 ICV Cyber Security, proclaimed himself the first engineer to successfully hack Tesla's electric car system, which tells him that the team has to develop an anti-hack system for cars.

“We realize that vehicle security is not like cyber security. Vehicle security involves human life and finance,” Liu said.

With just an app installed on a tablet, hackers can easily control a car's wheel, light, and even speed.

The demo alerts drivers to be aware of possible threats from unknown intrusions to the intelligence system.

“Many car manufacturers have already worked with us. They consider cyber security issues while making their cars to avoid disasters with self-driving vehicles,” Liu said.

Tech-giants collected data from users. Based on what they find, new products are made. Sending a photo, sharing your location – all of it adds up to an estimated 60 billion user data posted per day.

The product offered information to police, so that they can assign more staff to places with high people density to avoid incidents.

Tencent said it has policies to ensure the users' data won't be abused, but only serve the users.
