ICAT to Launch Cybersecurity Ratings for Connected Vehicles
The International Centre for Automotive Technology (ICAT) is developing a cybersecurity certification process for vehicles to combat increasing threats from cyber hackers who can remotely control cars. With modern vehicles equipped with M2M SIM cards, hackers could manipulate critical functions, posing serious safety risks. Experts highlight the potential for sophisticated attacks, such as spoofing and GAN attacks, which could mislead AI systems into dangerous situations. This evolving cybersecurity landscape necessitates that automotive safety measures evolve to include cybersecurity protections as vital as traditional safety features like airbags, underscoring the importance of proactive measures in vehicle technology.
