This is why vehicle manufacturers and the OEMs they work with must incorporate next-generation key management and other enterprise-grade cybersecurity systems into vehicles and the software ecosystem that supports them.

It is time for OEMs, vehicle manufacturers and even drivers to start taking vehicle cybersecurity seriously.
