  • There's a whole bunch of confusion about certifying a company as cybersecure, which is becoming increasing relevant to both revenues and costs for automakers.

The article by Steve Tengler on Forbes discusses the cybersecurity challenges facing the automotive industry as vehicles become increasingly connected and autonomous. It highlights how the complexity of modern vehicles, with their myriad of electronic control units (ECUs) and software, has made them vulnerable to cyber threats. The piece points out that while there is significant investment in cybersecurity, there's also confusion and a lack of standardization in how these threats are addressed. Tengler argues that despite these challenges, the industry is not doomed to a negative future; instead, proactive measures, collaboration between manufacturers, and regulatory frameworks are being developed to mitigate risks. He emphasizes the importance of continuous updates, secure design from the ground up, and the potential for cybersecurity to become a competitive advantage rather than just a compliance issue. The article concludes by suggesting that with the right approach, the automotive industry can navigate these cybersecurity waters successfully, turning potential vulnerabilities into opportunities for innovation and trust-building with consumers.
