The Revolution in the Auto Industry
As the wave of technological development rapidly spread over all the integral enterprises, the automobile industry did not miss the opportunity to embrace the change. The new technologies have altered the functionality of automobiles such as cars, motor trucks, and public buses.
In recent years, major car manufacturers have experienced a sharp decline in ownership leading to a severe blow for traditional ownership mindsets. With Daimler’s car2go, BMW’s DriveNow, Uber, and Lyft providing rental automobiles and ride-sharing services in all the major metro cities across the U.S., the motor industry is facing an unintended deterioration of private cars.
The unplanned detour has caused the downfall of driver license holders in the U.S. from 80 percent in the 1980s to presently 60 percent. More than half of the adults state car ownership as unworthy due to the hectic management pricing and servicing procedures. The population in urban areas has settled more and more toward cab sharing, rental, and bicycle approach.
It remains unknown whether the new attributed mobility and technology will change the traveling preferences of the next generation millennials. Implementation of regulatory policies to restrict private vehicle in developing countries due to emission balance has affected the sales of first-time users and multiple car ownership.
Enormous technological implications for the automotive sector are still on the rise. Presently, carmakers deal with a whole new level of technology that exceeds far beyond the ability of a car to manage fleet by detecting nearby passengers who want a ride.
Technologies such as the internet of things (IoT), sensor, and artificial intelligence (AI) have not only granted the ability to detect and interact with nearby systems but also integrate access to analyze and resolve congestion, authorizing full automation. The upgradation of technology influences the plugging payment system with vehicle technology, which benefits the finance and banking sector.
The boom in transportation technology will convert the course of the entire automotive ecosystem. From lodging establishments, fast food outlets in the gas station to marketing space and networking capabilities, everything is being altered efficiently to provide incredible benefits. The world of automobiles is driving toward the oblivion of new possibilities and will not be seen decelerating anytime soon.
The Impact of Cybersecurity Risks in Automotive Industry
Artificial intelligence and deep learning are growing on the application scale in the automotive industry. Automotive companies are working on customer demands in providing more advanced products with risk-free cybersecurity programs.intelligen and deep learning are growing on the application scale in the automotive industry. Automotive companies are working on customer demands in providing more advanced products with risk-free cybersecurity programs.
In the past years, cyber attacks have increased in different forms (malware and ransomware). The automotive industry is working on policies to avoid dramatic consequences and ensure passengers safety and system security.
Lack of cybersecurity skills in the supply chain resources, developers need for cybersecurity training and planning are a few critical issues faced by automotive companies. Addressing such issues and security risks in vehicles are the present cybersecurity practice.
The involvement of big companies like Apple or Google has increased the number of autonomous cars. Connected cars with autonomous technology have complex internal networks linking together with different components like sensors, brakes or steering wheel of the vehicles. Functions like automated parking and speed regulation or in-line driving are made available to the customer’s AI-enabled networks and software.
Artificial intelligence has made it possible for cars to have several same functions as electric consumer devices.
Automotive companies are now following Automotive SPICE initiative that aims at enhancing quality and controlling process norms such as ISO 26262 for the safety of vehicles and passengers on the roads.
According to an industrial source, the impact on cybersecurity risks is found to be that of 30–35 percentage which has made companies to implement the cybersecurity programs.
