Exploring the challenges and priorities of automotive cybersecurity
Everyone is wondering what the future holds for autonomous vehicles, and along with that, where the cybersecurity in connected and autonomous vehicles is headed.
For this series’ first episode, we welcome Siraj Shaikh, a professor of Systems Security at Swansea University in Wales, also Director of CyberOwl, a marine security technology provider, and Chair of the cybersecurity stream at the GAAC, the Global Automotive Advisory Council.
Host Lee Harrison and Siraj discuss in this episode whether we will ever see self-driving vehicles or is the challenge too much for the technology, where does the priority of security sit within this whole question of self-driving vehicles, and how do compliance and regulations fit into the big picture?
What You Will Learn in this Episode:
- Will we ever see Level 5 self-driving cars? (1:29)
- Is security a priority within the question of self-driving vehicles? (4:19)
- What is the goal of the GAAC in terms of bringing awareness of security? (7:35)
