Automotive Cyber Security

Deborah-Claire McKenzie
Connected vehicles have numerous potential benefits for convenience, safety, travel time and access to mobility, and the features that deliver these have become essential selling points. Advances in autonomy will increase the number and types of connections and travellers’ reliance upon them. In 2020, most new vehicles are connected vehicles and many have online connections to safety-critical systems, putting them at risk of deadly hacks. It’s not clear that the automotive industry is fully equipped to deal with this and they may even be deceiving the public about their lack of preparedness.


In response to these challenges, the new UNECE WP.29 type approval regulations for cybersecurity and over-the-air (OTA) updates enter into force in January 2021. The cybersecurity management standard ISO/SAE 21434 “Road Vehicles – Cybersecurity Engineering” is also hotly anticipated next year. But is the industry ready?

Stepping up in this connected world is a major challenge for the established automotive industry and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) providers. A number of these challenges can’t be solved without addressing deep-rooted issues such as reluctance to collaborate, a lack of specialised security talent, and engineering processes that don’t consider security throughout the lifecycle.


The ARTS TN have organised a webinar on Automotive Cyber Security on 21 October 2020 at 11.00hrs BST. Ahead of the webinar we’d like to hear your views on the following questions:


•    How well are automotive and ITS businesses positioned to deal with security in their products and services? 

•    What do the various industries need to do to create conditions where security can be assured by design throughout the lifecycle of their products and services? 

•    What are the gaps, how big are they, and what capabilities are needed to address them?


If you have other questions that you’d like to post here, we will also consider these for discussion by our experts in the Q&A panel during the webinar.

    Thats an interesting point Deborah , I can see all sorts of problems from the security point of view for electric vehicles , although I do think theft could be stopped , as we have seen these keyless cars arnt immune either , where scanning/capture devices are used. Given that black boxes are now being installed for lower insurance premiums , it strikes me that any stolen car can be tracked quickly , or even deactivated .However as ever , I am not keen on the over cyber controlling of vehicles , and driverless cars have got major problems , one scenario i could think of , is the hijacking of controls , by hacking the sensor controls. I dont know but car makers have got to think this through , and my guess is a physical security system , can only achieve this .
