Earlier this month, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill designed to clarify the federal government’s role in overseeing the development and release of self-driving cars. As the Senate reviews the bill, known as the Safely Ensuring Lives Future Deployment and Research In Vehicle Evolution (Self-Drive) Act, security experts worry whether a resulting law would have enough gas to actually improve vehicle cybersecurity.
The Self-Drive Act, as written, would require makers of autonomous vehicles to set up a process for identifying and mitigating “reasonably foreseeable” vulnerabilities, but it doesn’t define that process. And while it would require the manufacturers to have cybersecurity managers, training, and intrusion prevention and response systems in place, it doesn’t detail how the companies should follow through on the requirements.
