"Securing Driverless Cars From Hackers Is Hard. Ask the Ex-Uber Guy Who Protects Them​"

Security researchers, Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, performed a demonstration two years ago that revealed the potential remote hacking of a vehicle through its internet connection to disable driving functionality. Since then, cybersecurity concerns for the automobile industry have grown tremendously, however security efforts still haven’t been enough to rid smart cars from such vulnerabilities. This article discusses the major challenges of securing autonomous cars from hacking, different ways in which hackers can exploit vulnerabilities of autonomous vehicle systems, impacts of these attacks, as well as some fundamental changes that need to be implemented into vehicle security architecture to patch existing security flaws.
