DETROIT – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx’s speech at the inaugural Billington Auto Cybersecurity conference last Friday at Cobo Center is now posted online for you to watch.
Highlights of his speech include:
The US DOT will soon (weeks perhaps months) be issuing its own report on auto cybersecurity and the threats posed by the connected vehicles that could be targeted by hackers.
The US population will increase by 70 million people over the next 30 years.
By 2045, 75 percent of Americans will live in 11 mega regions that don’t have the infrastructure to accommodate growth. There will be a 45 percent increase in freight volume on the roads, waterways and rails.
Connected and autonomous vehicles will only be successful if cybersecurity best practices are adopted by all 18 world automakers.
