LONDON: The increasing automation and connectivity of cars is not only taking the driving out of driving – and for some, the fun too – but could also be leaving owners vulnerable to hackers trying to remotely hijack their vehicles, analysts say.
Cyberattacks on cars are set to become more likely due to the expanding role of software and autonomous driving, according to BMI, a British research subsidiary of financial company Fitch Solutions.
