Home > Industry Information > How Does The Release Of Many Vehicle Information Security Standards Have Affected The Development Of Autonomous Driving?
The technological development of the automotive industry has developed rapidly, the intelligent process has accelerated, and the functions of advanced auxiliary driving have gradually gradually been at low -end cars.Equipped on the type, the era of automobile intelligence has arrived.Whenever you talk about smart cars, there will be a topic that cannot be jumped, that is, information security.Different from traditional cars relying on machinery and electronic systems, smart cars need a lot of computing power and network information communication. How to ensure network security and information security is very important. This will affect the travel safety of the public, affect everyone's trust in smart cars, and even evenIt affects the future development trend of autonomous vehicles.
Technological development, regulations first, technology needs to be locked in a cage, so that people can better serve people. In order to be able to changeGood regulation of the development of the smart automobile industry, and a number of automotive information security standards will be released soon, which will provide effective standard support for the good development of the smart automobile industry.Among themGB 44495-2024) and "Automobile Software Upgrade General Technical Requirements" (GB 44496-2024) was released on August 23, 2024, and will be officially implemented from January 1, 2026.Both of these standards were proposed and registered by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China, and entrusted the National Automobile Standardization Technology Commission Intelligent Network Automobile Branch to implement it.
Car information security and software management status quo
1 Information security status quo
In traditional cars, because the electronic system of the vehicle is relatively closed and it is not vulnerable to external attacks, information security is not a problem that requires high attention.However, with the development of smart cars, vehicles have gradually become connected equipment, and they need to interact with a large amount of data with the external environment, especially many senior auxiliary drivers need to be connected, and they are linked to travel functions. Information security issues will become particularly important.Attach importance to seriously affect travel safety.
1.1 The risk of network attacks increases
Smart cars need to rely on a large number of sensors and communication systems to achieve real -time data exchange and decision -making, which makes smart cars a potential network attack target.Common methods of attack include but are not limited to: remote invasion: hackers can pass the wireless communication system (such asWi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Honeycomb Network) remotely invaded the vehicle to obtain system control.Data tampering: The attacker can tampering with sensor data or navigation information and mislead the autonomous driving system to make wrong driving decisions.Refusing to service attack (DDOS): The attacker can overload the vehicle's computing system through a large number of false requests, causing the system to collapse or paralyzed.
1.2 General existence of information security vulnerabilities
In recent years, the fragility of automobile information is frequently exposed.Studies have shown that the autonomous driving systems and networking functions of many car brands have different degrees of security loopholes.For example,In 2014, hackers used the vulnerabilities in the automotive digital service system to open 2.2 million car doors for a brand car; in 2015, hacker remotely attacked a carA brand car, which is driving, has undergone deceleration, brakes and other inspections, leading to the world1.4 million cars were recalled; in 2016, hackers obtained driver information and exhausted the driving force of the car through the loopholes of a brand car application. The manufacturer immediately disabled the application to prevent hackers from getting invading again.These incidents not only exposed the lack of current information security measures, but also aroused widespread attention from vehicle information security inside and outside the industry.
2 Smart car software management status quo
The software system of autonomous vehicles is much more complicated than traditional vehicles. It involves multiple modules such as perception, decision -making, and control. Each module relies on complex algorithms and a large amount of data processing.In order to maintain the latest and state of the system, software upgrades have become an inevitable requirement for smart cars.
2.1 Frequent demand for software upgrades
Because autonomous driving technology is in a rapid development stage, vehicle software needs to be frequently updated to introduce new functions, optimize performance, or repair the discovered vulnerabilities.Unlike traditional mechanical systems, the function and performance of autonomous vehicles depends to a large extent on the advancedness and reliability of the software.To this end, many manufacturers use hardware embedding to install the hardware required for certain functions in the car when they leave the factory.Over-the-air, OTA) is updated, so that these functions can be used.
2.2 OTA challenge
OTA technology has been widely used in the update of smart cars. No car owner is required to update offline in the maintenance factory. You only need to park your vehicle in the network where there is a network, and you can automatically complete the OTA update.The seemingly convenient feature brings a series of challenges: interruption or failure during the upgrade process: due to network problems or other uncontrollable factors, farThe upgrade may be interrupted or failed, which will cause vehicle software to be unstable or incomplete, which will directly affect driving safety.Potential safety hazards:OTA upgrades may become the target of attackers during transmission and execution.If the upgrade process is hijacked by hackers, the attacker may implant malware or tampering the upgrade content to bring major security risks to the vehicle system.
2.3 Software compatibility and stability issues
With the continuous update and functional upgrade of vehicle software, the problem of compatibility is becoming increasingly prominent.In some cases, the new software version may be incompatible with existing hardware or other software modules, resulting in a decrease in system performance or failure.In addition, frequent updates may lead to system instability and increase the risk of vehicles in a complex transportation environment.
The necessity of release these two standards
1 urgent needs of information security
With the popularization of smart car networking functions, car information security has changed from optional to necessities.According to statistics, as a smart mobile device, intelligence can exceed the vehicle controller more than150, the operating code exceeds 100 million lines, which will continue to increase the information security threat it faces.If the network attack, data leakage, and system tampering are not effective, if it is not effective, it will seriously affect the safety of the vehicle and the trust of consumers.Through the formulation of standards and legal specifications, it will provide a effective standard framework for vehicle information security management.
1.1 protection of consumer confidence
In recent years, news about car information security incidents is not uncommon, such asIn December 2022, Weilai Automobile was attacked by extortion. The leakage of millions of data caused a stir. Discussion on the security of intelligent connected cars around Weilai car owners' information.ContinueIt only stopped in February 2023.These incidents seriously damaged consumers' confidence in smart cars.With the development of autonomous driving technology, the public's expectations for vehicle safety have continued to increase.If the information security problem cannot be effectively resolved, consumers may reject new technologies and affect the development of the entire industry.
1.2 filling in blankness of regulations
At present, there is no unified standard for car information security globally.Although some countries and regions have begun to formulate relevant regulations and standards, in the global market, the implementation of these standards is still limited.As one of the global automotive market, my country to formulate information security standards that meet local needs can not only enhance the competitiveness of local enterprises, but also help establish a standardized advantage in the global market.
2 The importance of software upgrade management
In traditional cars, software updates are usually passed through the ownerThe 4S shop or maintenance point is performed. Although this method is high, the efficiency is low.However, with the development of autonomous driving technology, software upgrades have become frequent and complicated, and traditional updates have been difficult to meet demand.Remote upgrade has become a trend in the future, but its risks cannot be ignored.
2.1 Guarantee the long -term stability of the system
The safety and performance of autonomous vehicles depend on the continuous optimization of its software system.In order to ensure that the vehicle maintains the state throughout the life cycle, the upgrade and maintenance of software is crucial.However, if there is a lack of unified standards and specifications during the upgrade process, it may lead to system diversity and instability, and even cause serious security things.Therefore.
2.2 Maintenance user experience
As a smart product, autonomous driving cars are extremely important.If there are frequent problems during the software upgrade process, it will not only affect the normal use of the vehicle, but also cause consumers' trust in the brand.Therefore, standardizing the software upgrade process to ensure the safety and smoothness of the upgrade process is of great significance to maintaining the user experience.
2.3 Fast iteration of support technology
In a rapidly changing technology environment, auto manufacturers need to continue to launch new functions and optimize existing systems to maintain market competitiveness.The standardized software upgrade process can effectively reduce the risk of upgrade, support the rapid iteration of technology and the timely response of the market.
