The evolution of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) has led to exciting innovation in the automotive industry, but it has also brought challenges surrounding vehicle safety and security. Unlike traditional vehicles, which relied on mechanical systems with limited software, SDVs are “software on wheels.”
Two security researchers discovered that nearby attackers could compromise keyless entry systems through replay attacks to unlock doors and start engines of several Honda models.
The move toward software-defined vehicles is enabling a wealth of safety, comfort and convenience innovations but this requires an approach to development that always has cybersecurity in mind.
New standards are requiring OEMs and Tier-1s to implement cybersecurity solutions that are comprehensive and can operate throughout the lifecycle of the vehicle.
