Summary
Due to the close relation between vehicle safety and both traffic and personal safety, various features such as internet connectivity, communication requirements, and software-defined vehicles all contribute to an increase in potential attack vectors. Moreover, as the number of electric vehicles (EVs) rises and the charging infrastructure expands, the scope of cyberattack targets also widens accordingly. Consequently, there is a pressing need to enhance cybersecurity measures and effectively manage vulnerabilities to safeguard vehicles from multiple security threats.
