Overview

The motor vehicles on the road today are cyber-physical systems with cybersecurity vulnerabilities that could be exploited, resulting in harm to vehicle occupants, others on the road, and the general public.  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently issued the final version of its Cybersecurity Best Practices for the Safety of Modern Vehicles.  NHTSA describes vehicle cybersecurity as an “organizational priority” and these best practices as being applicable to all individuals and companies that are designing and manufacturing electronic systems and software for vehicles.
