Artificial Intelligence can be exploited to Hack Connected Vehicles

Innovative automakers, software developers and tech companies are transforming the automotive industry. Today, drivers enjoy enhanced entertainment, information options and connection with the outer world. As cars move toward more autonomous capabilities, the stakes are increasing in terms of security. As per a report by the UN, Europol and cybersecurity company Trend Micro, cyber-criminals could exploit disruptive technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to conduct attacks against autonomous cars, drones and IoT-connected vehicles. The rapid increase in these technologies inevitably creates a rich target for hackers looking to get access to personal information and control the essential automotive functions and features.
