To safeguard autonomous vehicles, makers need to leverage the concepts behind IoT security. A multi-layered approach is essential.

The most common IoT devices are sensors, and each is a potential window through which hackers can gain access to an IoT network and beyond.

Because technology for the Internet of Things (IoT) is relatively new, it is being deployed at massive scale. The risks of trust being misplaced are extremely high while building trust in the IoT devices and ecosystems is challenging.
