As modern vehicles grow increasingly connected, they are becoming a boon to cyber criminals in the process. According to the AV-TEST Institute, cyber attacks targeting vehicles increased to about 1.1 billion by the end of 2020, compared to roughly 65 million a decade ago. A number of new standards, regulations, and best practices aim to […]
A research team from The Ohio State Center for Automotive Research (CAR) is constructing a dedicated platform for cyber security testing in an autonomous vehicle (AV). The Mobility Cyber Range (MCR) platform will be vigorously tested to pinpoint potential cyber security vulnerabilities in AVs. This testing will help establish safety and security standards and best […]
Automakers are increasingly jam packing modern vehicles with connected systems that can present serious cyber security risks. According to a recent report from the New York Times, automakers and electronic system suppliers around the world are taking steps to protect vehicles from hackers. “To take control of a vehicle’s direction and speed: This is what […]
A new report from the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and Joint Research Center (JRC) is illuminating the cyber security issues related to artificial intelligence (AI) systems in autonomous vehicles. It suggests a number of ways manufacturers can reduce the risks. The report, titled “Cybersecurity Challenges in the Uptake of Artificial Intelligence in Autonomous […]
As vehicles become more connected with high-tech computer systems and software, there’s increasing concern about cyber security. Many governments are beginning to issue automotive cyber security best practices and regulations. In June 2020, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) adopted a pair of automotive cyber security regulations into the World Forum for Harmonization […]
Currently, 200 million digitally “connected vehicles” are traversing the world’s roadways, according to a recent white paper from the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA). By 2024, real-time traffic updates will be possible thanks to road infrastructure that will be digitally connected. By 2026, advanced vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) capabilities will help bring automated vehicles another step closer to […]
Today, it’s relatively easy for cyber criminals to hack into connected vehicles. The reason being that they only need to exploit a single vulnerability within an autonomous car to gain access to the operating system—and possibly the entire network. Demonstrating Autonomous Vehicle Cyber Attacks There are a number of examples demonstrating these vulnerabilities. In 2015, […]
