"Growing Challenges For Increasingly Connected Vehicles"

As cars become more connected, they will face more security challenges. Connectivity involves all vehicle components, encompassing everything from autonomous driving to connected infotainment and in-cabin monitoring. In addition, it includes external sensors, Internet of Things (IoT), Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), Over-the-Air (OTA) communication, and remote control. Different regional standards, an endless series of updates, the introduction of new technologies, and a growing concern for security exacerbate the difficulty of making all this technology function together. Most vehicles are equipped to connect to cellular and wireless infrastructure, as well as to wired and wireless devices. The majority of cabins also have the ability to connect to a wide variety of personal devices. As vehicles become more connected and software-defined, new challenges will emerge, such as how to future-proof vehicle and software architectures, cybersecurity, networking issues, and other problems typically associated with computer systems. This article continues to discuss the security challenges associated with connected vehicles.
