The use of technology can improve the safety of the car . In the area of ’ automotive is nothing new the combination of technology and security, but according to the latest Observatory UnipolSai 2015 , the perception of the utility of the use of new technologies to improve the safety of employees of the car has increased dramatically. Today, cars are increasingly connected and in the future will be able to interact with road infrastructure and directly with each other to exchange data such as speed, position, dangerous maneuvers and much more.
Cars connected: as improve Security
Through a combination of systems infotainment , navigation systems GPS and supports WiFi connectivity, cars can buy security offering occupants greater comfort while on the move . The modern infotainment systems may, in fact, to optimize the driving experience by offering a series of useful information for the driver. The drive connected, transforming in a sort of computer on four wheels, providing the occupants, for example, information such as the state of “health” of the car, signaling, that is, any problems. No shortage reports on weather, traffic, on any incidents and on much more.
The combination with satellite navigation systems allow drivers to report to the best path to follow , the most comfortable and protected from the unexpected. With connectivity and services cloud , modern infotainment systems can download real-time traffic conditions data regarded as any queues and accidents. The processing of these data allows you to create alternative routes away from safety risks.
In the future, with the ability to communicate with the infrastructure and with the surrounding vehicles, infotainment systems will signal also emergency situations such as skidding car foregoing, obstacles and more. Connected cars, real computer on wheels, also provide information on the state of the vehicle tips alerting occupants and maintenance of all the possible technical problems.
The driver will, therefore, delegate a part of its responsibilities to these software and services as the faithful co-pilots help in all phases of the guide provides more safety and simultaneously also less stress.
The modern car connected can also be configured to accommodate different occupants. For example, parents can program the car so that does not exceed a certain level of performance in such a way that a young newly licensed operator should not incur excessive speed.
But the fundamental aspect of modern systems Infotainment is their expandability. In other words, thanks to cloud services and network access, users can always upgrade to make them more reliable and feature-rich. Moreover, thanks to the developers, modern infotainment systems can be equipped with application Additional that can improve the services available to the user. Applications there are for all tastes, from the management of the car to those for entertainment.
Maps, cloud and software-board therefore represent in perspective a digital platform on which mobility can be woven: a texture made of bits, superimposed on the road network, gives a new meaning to traveling, traveling, commuting and the very concept of the vehicle.
Security proof crackers
But to really ensure better safety to the occupants of a car, modern infotainment systems must themselves be sure . The drive connected, by their nature, are more open to the outside thanks connectivity systems. Unfortunately, these strengths can also become potential openings that attackers can exploit to get hold virtually the car.
A car “cracked” may involve great risks for whoever is inside : the moment in which the security is delegated to the medium, increase the responsibility of the same in terms of safety of the passengers and decreases the threshold of concern of the latter. Bad guys who come into possession of infotainment systems can provide the driver with information wrong and potentially dangerous. Moreover, the brains of connected cars are connected to apparatuses key of vehicles such as the electronic control unit that oversees all functions of the car. Potentially, therefore, any Cracker could get even remotely manage key parameters such as the engine, the brakes, the accelerator or many crucial points of the car.
What is needed, therefore, , that car manufacturers invest heavily not only in the creation of a single standard that can facilitate dialogue between the connected cars, but especially in security systems to prevent crackers can get easily in systems taking control of the car.
De rest, a recent report that American has tapped 16 automakers, revealed today that the car is not connected in many cases provide adequate safety standards. The study showed, in fact, as the cars were equipped with wireless equipment at risk of intrusion. Car manufacturers will therefore take on the task of studying the safest systems and hacker-proof.
To give a hand to them comes the support of a group like Intel . To help reduce the risk of security associated with cars connected and give a boost to technological innovation, Intel Corporation today announced the establishment of ‘ Automotive Security Review Board (ASRB). The committee will be formed by leading security experts around the world with special expertise in physical security systems. Researchers ASRB perform safety tests and tests in order to define a set of best practices and recommendations for the design of information security products and solutions that will benefit the car industry and motorists. In addition, Intel has released a white paper that collects the first best practice IT security for the automotive industry, and intends to continue to update it based on results dell’ASRB.
