Abstract:Connected vehicles are a next-generation technology in vehicles and in infrastructure
that will make travel safer, cleaner, and more efficient. The advanced wireless
technology enables vehicles to share and communicate information with each other
and their surroundings in real time, which will help to reduce crashes, congestion,
and greenhouse gas emissions.
However, as our cars become more connected (to the Internet, to wireless
networks, with each other, and with our infrastructure), the risk of cyber-attacks
is a growing concern.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) understands the threat against
the nation’s cyber infrastructure and has made cybersecurity a top priority. The
Department is taking action to respond to the threat and improve the vehicle
cybersecurity posture and capabilities of the United States.
