Cars are already full of sensors and producing gigabytes of data, but they are not connected yet. Connecting them can represent a tremendous opportunity for several industries (insurance companies, repairs, traffic optimization...) but it certainly comes with a lot of challenges. Security and Privacy are the biggest challenges this market have to overcome, especially because it has been completely out of scope for this industry so far.

Security matters too
 Safety
– When cars can be controlled
remotely …
“My car was hacked”
 Privacy

generation of hackers
