Future Cars: Indian Institute of Science, Tata Elxsi to develop cyber solutions to make future cars safer
[ad_1]
BENGALURU: Design and technology service provider Tata Elxsi and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Thursday announced the joint development of an automotive cyber security solution.
The joint development will leverage the former’s industry-acknowledged artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) skillset and the business foray towards software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and electric vehicles solutions, coupled with the strength of advanced research at IISc.
The partnership aims to address the challenges in cybersecurity presented by complex in-vehicle networks of sensors and numerous advancements in software that define the modern driving experience.
“Advances in vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-anything (V2X) connectivity have presented more opportunities for theft, remote control, tampering, and stealing of personal information. Meanwhile, IISc researchers are focusing separately on developing automotive vehicle technologies and network security, smart grids, and other critical systems,” IISc said.
This collaboration will also focus on security and threat detection in connected automotive vehicles, using AI & ML-based intrusion detection. The partnership will also work to prevent and detect potential security threats and anomalies with preventive insights on future and potentially more advanced threats in the system.
Tata Elxsi CEO and MD Manoj Raghavan, said: “Tata Elxsi recognises that the automotive industry’s future depends on secure vehicles and trust. In the Connected vehicles space, we have made substantial investments to improve our solution stacks for autonomous vehicles via our ADAS (advanced driver assistant system) programme, SDV architecture, and the like.”
As vehicles increasingly rely on digital technologies, ensuring cybersecurity is paramount, Raghavan said, adding that IISc’s partnership focusing on cybersecurity solutions and products will enable building safer, more resilient vehicles.
“In today’s digital and interconnected world, cybersecurity threats are growing in pace with technological advances. At IISc, we are always keen on academia-industry partnerships that can help address such challenges,” IISc director Prof G Rangarajan, said.
Prof Rajesh Sundaresan, dean, division of Electrical, Electronics and Computer Sciences (EECS), IISc, said a modern car easily has upwards of 3,000 chips sensing and controlling the car’s operation.
“…The design complexity associated with enabling safe in-vehicle networking is enormous. This partnership brings together IISc’s strengths in cyber-physical systems security and Elxsi’s strengths in design and technology to enable safe, secure, and connected mobility.”
He emphasised the CSR grant provided earlier by Tata Elxsi for setting up an AI lab at IISc that has dramatically helped students of the Institute’s MTech (Artificial Intelligence) programme.
