Why I am concerned about Solar Flares and EMP attacks on the U.S.

I mentioned about this obliquely while I was writing about my experiences riding in a Tesla because cars like this (all electric and solar powered) are obviously the future of transportation here on earth.

However, along with not burning any fossil fuels at all for power comes the danger of Solar Flares and EMP attacks on the U.S. or other countries. For example, an EMP generator (or generators) could be fitted onto a flying drone and sent into the U.S. or another country at night low enough not to show up on radar say off an ocean and flown into a metropolitan area and the EMP generator would then go off. Though this doesn't directly kill people as in a bomb what it does is to shut off all power to anything within an area and permanently destroy anything electrical or electronic in that area right then. 

So, in a Tesla or other car if you were driving on a freeway it would suddenly shut off and if you were traveling at 70 the wheels might freeze up because of this they way they are built which means that likely most people who were in this situation would be dead unless they were very skilled at taking over the wheel in this situation somehow. When a solar flare big enough occurs GPS satellites already shut down and turn upside down and are temporarily or permanently dysfunctional. So, if an electric car or plane was depending upon GPS for navigation cars or planes might crash losing all on board.

Is USA Falling Behind in Race to Prepare for Electromagnetic Pulse Attacks? Here's the intro to a story at Nextgov.com: "Electromagnetic pulses and violent space weather outbursts might seem like national security threats straight out of science fiction. But the House Homeland Security Committee wants to ensure federal agencies are doing their best to prepare for them. During an Oversight and Management Efficiency subcommittee hearing Tuesday, legislators reviewed the possible ramifications that a man-made EMP weapon, detonated nuclear device or even space weather phenomena could have on the nation’s power grid. While seemingly remote, the threats drew comparisons to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks..."
