Connected car data security becomes key as automakers enable advanced communications and safety features.
With this increased connectivity comes greater automotive cybersecurity risks, too. In fact, the number of automotive cyberattacks has risen sharply. The average car today contains up to 150 electronic control units and about 100 million lines of software code. That number is projected to reach 300 million lines of code by 2030.
In response, regulators have begun to take action to address the growing vulnerabilities in connected car data security.
Upcoming Automotive Cybersecurity Regulations
For example, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) is working on regulations to improve automotive cybersecurity and software update management.
The WP.29 regulations will require manufacturers to implement measures in four areas:
Managing vehicle cyber risks
Securing vehicles by design to mitigate risks along the value chain
Detecting and responding to security incidents across vehicle fleet
Providing secure software updates and ensuring vehicle safety is not compromised.
In the European Union, the regulations on automotive cybersecurity will be mandatory for all new vehicles produced from July 2024. Japan and Korea have also agreed to implement the regulations according to their own timeline. They do not apply to North American automakers.
The WP.29 regulation defines the automotive cybersecurity requirements to approve vehicles ba ..
