Hacking Your Ride: Transportation Safety and Risk
In April of 2015 a security researcher claimed in a tweet that he had been able to take control of an aircraft in mid-flight, setting off shockwaves in the industry. Cars too may be vulnerable to cyberattack, according to a congressional report citing “a lack of appropriate security measures to protect drivers against hackers who may be able to take control of a vehicle.” As technology advances, so do system vulnerabilities in transportation. Cars, trucks, planes, trains, even ships are potentially hackable. What are the risks to public safety, who will be held liable and how can government and private business work together to prepare for and protect against those risks?
