Automotive Connectivity
Automotive connectivity has become increasingly important in recent years, as drivers and passengers expect to have access to the same level of connectivity in their cars as they do in their homes and offices. Reliable connectivity for connected cars can help with everything from infotainment to Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. Autonomous driving will be facilitated by V2X (vehicle to everything) connectivity and the emergence of 5G, which will provide a new driving experience.
Discover Thales solutions for reliable connectivity throughout the whole vehicle's lifecycle.
Cybersecurity for connected vehicles
Cybersecurity in connected cars is a crucial concern as the number of connected devices in vehicles continues to grow. As cars become increasingly connected, they become more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Car cybersecurity is all the more relevant as it is now part of a European and international framework, with the upcoming regulations of the UNECE´s World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP29) and the ISO SEA 21434 for automotive cybersecurity.
Thales is ISO SEA 21434 - certified and supports automotive suppliers and car manufacturers in this transformation with a wide range of automotive cybersecurity solutions.
