CME's and sensitive electronics
Posted: 2023 Oct 12, 08:19
There have been many recent articles about corona mass ejections and the affect on satellites, the electric grid and electronic devices. The next solar storm could be worse than the 1859 Carrington event. The next “Carrington-class” solar storm could affect us or not. I guess that it depends on whether it is daytime or nighttime.

What would or could this do to vehicles that rely on computers to control the engines and more? Are we vulnerable? Would a EMB released over the US say by a country like North Korea do the same damage? Would the majority of the vehicles out driving during such an event be affected and turn our roadways into "junkyards".
The main question is if individuals that are aware that this could happen have a spare PCM stored away in an old metal ammo box, would it be protected in a "Faraday cage" sort of way?
