The Challenge: Rising Cyber Threats in Connected Vehicles

The increasing connectivity and software-driven characteristics of vehicles has made cybersecurity a Security-Critical  component of automotive and systems engineering, rather than only an IT issue. Features like as V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication, autonomous driving, and OTA (Over-the-Air) updates are contributing to the rapid expansion of the attack surface, making vehicles more vulnerable to cyber threats (e.g., remote vehicle control, data theft, ransomware). To provide a structured method for managing cybersecurity risks in road vehicles, ISO/SAE 21434 was introduced. It ensures that security is integrated into every stage of the process, from development and design to manufacturing and post-market monitoring.

The Importance: Cyber Resilience for the Future

Proactive risk management is the goal of automotive cybersecurity, rather than mere compliance. Innovation and security must coexist without sacrificing user experience or performance. As connected vehicles continue to grow, Cyber Resilience will be key in ensuring safe and secure mobility. Collaboration is essential – Building a safe and robust automotive ecosystem requires collaboration from OEMs, suppliers, and developers.  Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. A crucial component of cyber resilience is the capacity to quickly adjust to newly identified threats and vulnerabilities.

As products are becoming intricate to meet evolving demands, the need for effective stakeholder management in projects has become paramount. According to a recent paper published on ResearchGate, “The most common cause of project failure is miscommunication.” This highlights the critical role that communication plays in ensuring project success. In the realm of multidisciplinary complex engineering systems, where multiple stakeholders with varied interests are involved, the challenge intensifies. In this article, I’ll delve into the importance of managing stakeholder expectations and explore communication strategies to navigate these challenges effectively. Get more information :

2020 however saw a dip in sales of EVs, which I believe happened with all the automotive sector due to pandemic. What is interesting to note is the total number of EV sales over years, which is still a long way to compete with fossil fuel based vehicles. I believe range of an EV is the single most important factor for customers not adopting EV as their primary vehicle of choice. If we can see a good range of EV, with a network of charging stations easily accessible, something similar to CNG stations, with quick charging, EV market can see a boom in demand, and our dependency on petrol and diesel cars can come down. In-fact Bill Gates talks about range and adoption of electric cars and technology trends here in a YouTube video. Find out more :
