Driverless cars or hackers attacking targets Ford Toyota attacked

Driverless cars or hackers attacking targets Ford Toyota was attacked January 29, according to the BusinessInsider website, senior security expert Eddy Schwarz Eddie Schwartz recently warned that unmanned vehicles, once on the road, will be the target of hackers. Mr. Schwartz said the cyber-security industry was far from mature and would see a large number of hacking attacks in the first 50 years of 21st century. "All the big car companies are developing driverless cars," he explains. For driverless cars, these vehicles must be able to communicate with each other about security matters, so the car must have a recognition function. To identify, it means that these driverless cars must be equipped with certificates or similar features, as if to say ' This is a licensed car ', so that cars can communicate with each other really quickly and avoid each other. "But, in Mr. Schwartz's view, the automotive industry is facing some potential security problems with applications for the connection between objects and objects." Even normal cars are vulnerable to hacking attacks. Last August, some researchers discovered that hackers had attacked Ford SUVs and Toyota's tax cars, which damaged the brakes and steering wheel systems. In addition, in 2011, other researchers also damaged these systems by using Bluetooth, moving data, and even inserting malicious audio files into the CD of car media players. Of course, driverless cars have more channels to communicate and connect with the outside world, and lack the driver's observation and correction, so they will face more risk of being hacked. (Niuniu)
