| Cybersecurity is relatively new to the industry in a formal sense. I worked on helping the industry define SAE J3061 as detailed here. https://www.sae.org/standards/content/j3061_201601/ ISO 21434 came out a few years later. https://www.iso.org/standard/70918.html This was all kicked off after the Jeep Hack.

They have crypto experts, kernel experts, and pretty good standards. Before the Jeep Hack, they still took it seriously, but it was a lot of roll your own crypto types, and they didn't really know what they were doing. Since then all the automotive companies hired and purchased companies from the traditional Cyber area and have trained up hybrid automotive and cybersecurity experts. They still aren't perfect, but nobody really is, but cars these days have pretty cool tech in them. If you are worried I'd recommend trying to hack your own car. You can learn a lot from it, and there are a lot of cool things you can do. In my experience, nothing alleviates fear better than a deep dive into a subject. comma.ai for example have built an open source self-driving platform from hacking on the internals of vehicles. https://comma.ai/ |
