Hacking Risk for Computer Vision Systems in Autonomous Cars

Researchers from the University of Washington and other schools recently published a paper that describes a new attack algorithm, known as Robust Physical Perturbation (RP2). The report, “Robust Physical-World Attacks on Machine Learning Models,” detailed how the algorithm makes it possible for errant individuals to alter standard road signs and create havoc for self-driving car systems.

Rise of the robocar: are connected cars safer, or a target for hackers?

A threshold was quietly crossed in the first quarter of 2016. For the first time, mobile carriers reported activating more connected cars than phones.

At a vehicle tech demonstration in Manhattan this month, a group of reporters stood around a custom-made, tablet-screened display console as Darrin Shewchuk, a spokesman for Harman International, explained the impending technological revolution.

Harman, a company long known for its high-end stereo equipment, is working with Samsung to make sure even more vehicles get connected.

“There will be more than 200m connected vehicles on the road around the world by 2020,” Shewchuk said, outlining Harman’s partnership with Samsung to create a new generation of in-vehicle technology.

Tesla Model S Hacked To Mine Cryptocurrency

However it seems that one miner might have figured out a way to mine for cryptocurrency in a greener fashion, which is by hacking his Tesla Model S to do the mining for him, as you can see in the photo above that was shared on Facebook via the Tesla Owners Worldwide group. But doesn’t recharging the Model S require electricity? Of course it does, but it seems that this has been offset with the free access to Tesla’s Supercharger networks, which means that his costs only involve putting together the rig, notwithstanding the cost of the car itself.

Researchers say quantum computing could improve self-driving cars' cyber security

British technologists have launched a groundbreaking study to explore ways that quantum computers can be used to prevent hackers from taking over self-driving cars.

The study, led by a team of cyber security researchers and quantum technology experts at Coventry University's Institute for Future Transport and Cities (FTC) and security company Crypta Labs, claim that the "randomness of light" could make driverless vehicles more secure.

UK takes first step towards criminalising driverless car hackers

The Law Commission is to conduct a study into British driving laws with the aim of making sure humans can still be blamed for road accidents caused by driverless cars – and criminalising hackers who target autonomous vehicles.

"Key aspects will be adjusting traditional laws to reflect the fact self-driving vehicles of the future will not have a 'driver' or perhaps even a 'steering wheel' like traditional cars and also consider some of the criminal offences involved," the Department for Transport said about the planned three-year review in a statement.

Porsche aims to use blockchain to secure customer data during digital transactions

Porsche aims to use a decentralized form of bookkeeping known as blockchain to keep customers' financial data safe from hackers during online transactions.

As cars become increasingly connected with each other and their environment, Porsche hopes to use blockchain to offer customers services to take over more mundane tasks involved in owning a vehicle.

Porsche said it is the first automaker to successfully test blockchain in a car. “We’ve proven it works and that it offers value to the customer,” said Oliver Doering, Porsche’s financial strategist.

But there is also plenty of concern about the safety and security of these vehicles – and quite rightly so. We have seen many reports of these cars being hacked, and human life is at risk, so you would assume that security is of paramount concern to manufacturers. You would assume, wouldn’t you?

Volkswagen and Audi Cars Vulnerable to Remote Hacking
April 30, 2018
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...n-and-audi-cars-vulnerable-to-remote-hacking/

A Dutch cyber-security firm has discovered that in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems deployed with some car models from the Volkswagen Group are vulnerable to remote hacking.

Daan Keuper and Thijs Alkemade, security researchers with Computest, said they successfully tested their findings and exploit chains on Volkswagen Golf GTE and Audi A3 Sportback e-tron models (Audi is a brand part of the Volkswagen Group).
Computest researchers hack VW, Audi via WiFi connection
The two researchers said used a car's WiFi connection to exploit an exposed port and gain access to the car's IVI, manufactured by electronics vendor Harman.

Researchers also gained access to the IVI system's root account, which they say allowed them access to other car data.
Researchers could have done more, but they stopped
Keuper and Alkemade say the IVI system is also indirectly connected to the car's acceleration and braking system, but they stopped investigating the possibility of interacting with those systems fearing they might breach Volkswagen's intellectual property.

BMW claims they are powerless against crooks hacking into its motors

The German manufacturer admitted its keyless models are vulnerable to thieves using gadgets available online.

“Theft kits” that hack a car door open can be bought on eBay and Amazon for as little as £100 and have helped car crime soar by more than 50% nationally.

Despite the growing problem, BMW has insisted it cannot accept any responsibility.

It said in emails to a customer that while such thefts were “extremely regrettable, we can- not take responsibility”.

Tesla’s over-the-air brake upgrade was amazing—and also a bit worrying

Tesla pushed out a software update to Model 3s that dramatically improved the car's braking performance in certain conditions. The update came days after Consumer Reports announced that it could not recommend the vehicle based on inconsistent—and sometimes quite poor—braking performance.

This week, after the update had gone out, Consumer reports tested its car again and found the braking had improved. As a result, the organization is now recommending the Model 3.

The update shows the power of Tesla's over-the-air software update capabilities. But it also raises questions about how much testing Tesla did to its braking systems before launching the Model 3 in the first place.

'Shift Left' & the Connected Car
How improving application security in the automotive industry can shorten product development time, reduce costs, and save lives.

Technological Advancements Improve Safety and Present New Dangers
There's little doubt that technology has made cars safer, more comfortable, and more efficient. Today's motor vehicles, like the computers and mobile devices we use every day, are almost entirely reliant on software.
Consumer demand for safety and convenience has long pushed cars toward greater complexity and sophistication.
Safety First Means Security from the Start
The computer is the epicenter of the modern car responsible for function, comfort and entertainment. These systems require an extensive number of complex applications. For example, IEEE noted that premium vehicles perform their technical ballet around a staggering 100 million lines of code.
Shifting Security Left
Addressing the complex application security problems facing vehicle manufacturers begins with a "security first" mentality. Software security must be designed into automotive applications from day one, and this means enforcing software development processes that identify and fix vulnerabilities during design and coding rather than testing and repairing vulnerabilities later.
