In fact, the money-making potential is quite sizable and will indisputably be a crucial factor in why and how cyber-hackers sink their teeth into self-driving cars.Īnyone with a blind spot on this source of motivation will likely underestimate the veracity of the threats that cyber-hackers are going to undertake in this realm. Let’s be above-board, there are plenty of ways for cyber-hackers to make money off of self-driving cars. To such a perspective, I loudly (and politely) say balderdash, and plead that those promulgating such a stance would reconsider the matter, including that they should forthwith cease and desist in permeating a quite misleading and wholly unsound position. In other words, the belief appears to be that since a self-driving car is not a bank, it is not a savings account, it is not a credit card, one must conclude ergo that cyber-hackers will not go out of their way to come after self-driving cars. This concern is one of the most commonly noted qualms when public surveys and polls are taken about the advent of self-driving cars (for insights into the valid points and also the misconceptions that those surveys seem to generate, see my analysis at this link here).įor those in the self-driving car industry, there seems to be an ongoing viewpoint by some that though there is a potential minuscule chance of a cyber-hack into a self-driving car, and thus indeed cyber-security is paramount, they nonetheless often state or suggest that there is little incentive for cyber-hackers to target self-driving cars due to the (presumed) lack of money to be made. In short, there is a possibility that a cyber-hacker could intercede in an autonomous vehicle and in one manner or another cause difficulty or worse in terms of impacting the driving aspects of the vehicle.
