Anticipated Role of Artificial Intelligence in Connected Vehicles Security

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is leading the path of automation for industries. The automotive industry is soon to fulfil its long-awaited dream of autonomous vehicles with the help of AI and IoT. Modern vehicles include various IoT devices to perform automated jobs, but being an essential part of cars and vulnerable to cyber attacks can result in a threat to connected vehicles.

As security is utmost important for passenger and public safety, car manufacturers look up to AI for the same. The technology is already being used for cybersecurity and can easily be modified for automation and security at the same time.

AI solutions can be built to address the issues of hacking connected cars efficiently. It would be able to detect signs of cyber infection in the network by monitoring vehicles data. Sensor and other IoT devices data would help the AI interface to flag the abnormal behavior that strays from the baseline of activity. After which the abnormality can be brought to attention to car’s security operations center for analysis, potentially identifying the root of the problem.
