Demand is rising, especially among younger consumers, for convenience functions to maintain and enhance connectivity, and to share and evaluate vehicle data such as consumption or power output via apps.
The age of the connected vehicle has become a reality. That reality excites not only customers and manufacturers, but also cybersecurity experts and white-hat hackers seeking to identify and lock down security gaps to prevent breaches by malicious actors.
