What threat will hackers present to driverless vehicles?
Manage episode 312016001 series 3214620
It’s July 2015, and Andy Greenberg is driving his Jeep Cherokee through downtown St Louis.
The weather is normal for a summer’s day in Missouri: clear and warm. So Andy finds it a bit frustrating when the windshield wipers start up. Especially as he can’t seem to switch them off.
Then the air conditioning turns up full blast, even though Andy hasn’t touched the controls. Next, the radio switches on, playing music at maximum volume. Andy presses the button to turn it off, but it keeps going.
At this stage, it’s pretty clear what’s happening. Andy’s car has been hacked.
But what might such an attack look like in 2019, conducted on a driverless vehicle? That's the question we're asking in this month's episode of Journey Makers. Welcome aboard.
