Hard disk drive and atomic clock: what they have in common

  1. Step 1. Hard disk drive — has part — Neodymium magnet. The head actuator.
  2. Step 2. Neodymium magnet — is part of — Electric car. Synchronous traction motors use neodymium magnets.
  3. Step 3. Electric car — evolved into — Self-driving car. Most self-driving cars are built on electric platforms.
  4. Step 4. Self-driving car — has part — GPS (satellite navigation). Satellite navigation.
  5. Step 5. GPS (satellite navigation) — uses — Atomic clock. The satellites carry atomic clocks; the position is calculated from signal arrival times.
