As if Uber is not having enough troubling fighting off Taxi unions, the future may obsolete their own massive driver pool. Of course we’ll need to trust the tech before we step in the back seat, we call that a train today.

It’s hard to have both safety and convenience with digital content on large or small screens in the car, but I’ll still argue that a well designed UI is the key. Also self driving cars will help “when” they get here.

This webinar, presented by the GENIVI Alliance, will characterize the range and type of cybersecurity threats to the automotive ecosystem and to the vehicles it delivers. Discussion will include network-based exploits (3G), local attacks (WiFi, Bluetooth and wireless keys/key-fobs), the role of open source software in automotive systems design, and steps OEMs, Tier One suppliers and other ecosystem participants are taking to meet cybersecurity threats head-on.

Security in the open automotive aligns with the thinking that you cannot lock down a car perfectly today, so collaborate to find a scalable answer.

I used to say it begins with convenience and ends with safety, but now I think it goes the other way around.

The hardware must have been there all along, it’s amazing how much different Musk thinks than a regular car company. Others would not put a penny worth of extra electronics without charging the customer or the feature, let alone send software down to activate it without a visit to the dealership.

Is this the one that includes a full IVI implementation similar to QNX, MS-Auto, or Linux (GENIVI)? I’ve not heard yet, but rumors always abound and Android Auto is already moving into production cars so we wonder if this is the next step.
While Haidar would like to see Vinli integrated in new cars before they hit the market, he is still bullish about value of an aftermarket product — particularly in the face of a new Department of Transportation regulatory framework that would require automakers to build vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication capabilities into all new cars.

I suppose once DOT wireless standards (5.9Ghz DSRC) settle down, Vinli could go out and enable the aftermarket. Now that would make a big difference in safety if more than a few thousand new cars had the tech.
