The Car Last summer I bought a 2021 Hyundai Ioniq SEL. It is a nice fuel-efficient hybrid with a decent amount of features like wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, wireless phone charging, heated seats, & a sunroof.
One thing I particularly liked about this vehicle was the In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system. As I mentioned before it had wireless Android Auto which seemed to be uncommon in this price range, and it had pretty nice, smooth animations in its menus which told me the CPU/GPU in it wasn’t completely underpowered, or at least the software it was running wasn’t super bloated.
This is why I’m not particularly excited about hugely interconnected and self-driving cars. This insecure shit stops being funny once it’s accelerating towards you.
Well, I’m not just talking about Smart City. There’s also ideas for cars to exchange information with one another. But even just the fact that new cars will generally be connected to the internet.
Any of these endpoints can potentially be attacked with false information or some exploit to gain deeper access in a car.
But yeah, that’s also kind of what I’m betting on. I cannot imagine car manufacturers actually standardizing on common APIs. Smart Cities, maybe per country, but bureaucracy will slow that down a lot.
