Safeguarding Over-the-Air Updates - Abstract

Kurzfassung

In recent years, software complexity in automobiles has increased immensely. The global trend in the automotive sector is increasingly moving towards the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV). However, the figures for recalls in recent years show a growing cause in software errors and they are set to increase. This means that the number and scope of software updates will also rise. Clearly Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates should be favoured in the future, mitigating the burden and effort of visiting a repair workshop. OTAs can be used to fix bugs, close security gaps, but also to expand functions or increase performance.
