Familiarity with the term “connected vehicle” climbed to 69 percent, compared with 60 percent two years earlier.
Cathi Chinn, Verra Mobility’s vice president of innovation, said in the company’s announcement that “consumers have arrived at the connected vehicle category.”
How the Survey Was Conducted Verra Mobility commissioned the research, which was conducted online through Pollfish on May 21, 2026.
The survey defined connected vehicle services narrowly, as those that use a vehicle’s embedded communications rather than a mobile phone connection.
Services accessed through a smartphone, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, were not counted as connected vehicle services for the purposes of the study.

But could your vehicle also tell whether you're an aggressive driver?
From connected-car systems to insurance telematics, data about acceleration, braking, and cornering can reveal patterns that suggest a riskier driving style.
That doesn't mean every new car is secretly grading its driver.
Excessive speed: Driving above applicable limits or faster than conditions safely allow, where the system can assess this.
The system might evaluate acceleration, braking, speed, mileage, and even when or where a trip takes place.

The first is an off-chain intrusion detection system that prioritizes speed, because in vehicular environments milliseconds matter.
The MLPNN’s role is to make the final judgment call: given a standardized, feature-enhanced snapshot of network traffic, is this communication legitimate or hostile?
Once the intrusion detection system identifies and verifies a security event, the framework’s blockchain layer takes over.
This design choice addresses one of the most underappreciated problems in vehicular security: evidentiary integrity.
Subject of Research: AI-powered intrusion detection and blockchain trust management for securing vehicular V2X wireless networks Article Title: Enhanced cyber security system for vehicular wireless network using AI-powered blockchain security structures based on intrusion detection systems Article References: Enhanced cyber security system for vehicular wireless network using AI-powered blockchain security structures based on intrusion detection systems.

In many cases, attackers are more interested in stealing data, disrupting services or using connected devices as a way into a larger network.
Routers, not appliances, account for more than three-quarters of all attacks on connected devices, according to security-industry data.
Once inside a device, a hacker can generally do one of two things: gather information or take control of the device.
Hackers who take control of a device can switch it on or off, change settings or lock users out of their accounts.
The simplest rule is often the most effective: the fewer connected devices you have, the fewer potential entry points exist for attackers.

The bill would bar vehicles made by companies with more than a 15% ownership stake from Chinese entities.
“It is literally a driving spy machine on wheels,” Slotkin said of Chinese vehicles.
Lawmakers See Threat From Chinese EVs Lawmakers and analysts have warned of dire consequences if Chinese EVs should become available in the United States.
Chinese automakers have expanded rapidly overseas, competing aggressively on price and technology and putting pressure on established manufacturers in Europe and other markets.
But in early September, before he hosted China’s Xi, Trump again said he would not oppose Chinese automakers building cars in the United States.

The UK’s Surrey County Council is measuring vehicle speeds at 1,339 sites using connected vehicle data instead of radar and automatic traffic counters.
Using connected vehicle data provided by Compass IoT, Surrey has removed the physical constraint of installing hardware, retrieving it and processing the data.
These vehicle speeds are taken across the full road segment rather than a single point, capturing driver variations.
A recurring survey from the connected vehicle data source shows how speeds change over a month and gives a more accurate before-and-after picture when something changes.
Founded in 2018, Compass IoT is a connected vehicle data aggregator with clients across Australia, New Zealand, North America and Europe.

One year after the EU Data Act became applicable, CARUSO's CVFT 5.0 report finds major gaps in how vehicle manufacturers share connected car data.
The CVFT report delivers insights based on a systematic evaluation of how vehicle manufacturers are implementing the EU Data Act.
The EU Data Act became applicable on September 12, 2025, as a horizontal regulation to foster the use of machine generated data in mobile devices.
From September 2025 to July 2026, CARUSO systematically evaluated the EU Data Act solutions of all major vehicle manufacturers.
The key findings are as follows: • Highly heterogeneous Data Act implementation by the vehicle manufacturers While some vehicle manufacturers implemented measures to comply with the EU Data Act already in September 2025, others followed a few months later, and some vehicle manufacturers still do not offer solutions for drivers to share their data.

Modern digital broadcasting technologies such as Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) can combine audio with text, images like maps and data.
This makes digital broadcast radio particularly relevant to the connected car: broadcast and IP technologies can complement one another rather than one replacing the other.
India demonstrates that digital radio in cars is already a mass-market technology and provides an important example of what has already been achieved.
Almost 14 million cars on Indian roads are equipped with DRM digital radio receivers, following the introduction of factory-fitted DRM receivers.
In Europe, there are similar calls for EU rules to ensure that broadcast radio reception remains available in new vehicles.
