Connected cars: Secure by design

"Within the scope of the agreement, we shall develop a secure gateway powered by our own operating system, KasperskyOS, which will enable secure data exchange between the components of a connected car and between the on-board information system and an external IT infrastructure"

Nothing connected to the internet is safe 100%. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try to do our best to make it better/safer. (these two are synonyms).

I definitely wouldn't want my car to be connected to internet except maybe for the purpose of navigation.

what kind of ransom ware we will see then." your car is locked if you want to get off pay this much amount"

Android and Apple Auto is enough.

If they can make the internet connected part separate (hardware wise, not software) from the rest of the vehicle, 100% safe, given malware can't do crap to the vehicle.

Agreed and to be clear, if a ransomware infects your connected car and you have to pay two bitcoins to go to work, what do you do? You'll pay? Yes, of course.

If you have a connected car, which costs 50 thousand dollars, and you have to pay $ 300 ransom to be able to use it...you will pay!

This is the future, a computer infected by ransomware is not the same thing like a car infected by ransomware.

we must act and decide up to which extent we can allow technology to invade our life.
for example we still chew our food with our teeth whereas grinders are available we do not grind the food and swallow it after making paste of it

Connected vehicles, insecure by design, anything connected is insecure.

Imagine if 250 million vehicles were infected...state sponsored terrorism or regular terrorist. They better make these incredibly secure, over it's game over.

Really there are grinders out there, do not see the point.

I'm not even a fan of the last decade or two of computer brain boxes in vehicles, give me an old fashioned V8, that is easier to work on and keep going, and does not cost an arm and leg just for the diagnostic to be performed.

A man after my own heart, V8's all the way.

Something that no one is talking about is how to make these things secure from hacking. Believe it or not, an old friend- Blackberry- is on the leading edge of securing robo-cars with the QNX OS platform:

QNX OS for Security

and here is a video about Connected cars:

QNX operating systems, development tools, and professional services for connected embedded systems

Blackberry has quietly become the market leader here, and if anybody wants an investment that will double in 2 years, looks like this is one.

I do not trust driverless cars at all. I would rather drive myself 100%.

These are the kinds of things that would scare me from getting a self-driving car in the future. It would be too easy for a hacker to kill an innocent person.
