I wanted to let you know about this open letter to automotive industry CEOs: https://www.change.org/petitions/automo ... e_petition
As cars become more and more complex, add remote connectivity options, steer by wire + self parking and in some cases full blown Web Browsers in the console, information security will become more important. As an information security consultant, I believe that cars should be made while taking that into consideration. Unlike my trusty old S14 (which I sold this spring!
), my next car will have tons of electronic systems, and who knows when the first self-driving cars will be commercialized? Manufacturers have a chance now to make security something they handle very well, before it becomes even more important.A good example is Tesla, which is hiring a bunch of security pros and hackers to test and fix their car, and who has announced a disclosure program ( https://www.teslamotors.com/en_EU/about/security ) where we can submit issues found on the car.
If you think this is important, please sign it!
Thanks Nico crew!
