The Cavalry Rides Into Auto Industry With Security Proposal

A grassroots group calling itself "I Am The Cavalry" has published an open letter to the automotive industry offering its services in ensuring security and safety. "Modern vehicles are computers on wheels and are increasingly connected and controlled by software and embedded devices," the letter reads. The letter lists some of the associated features under development, such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication, driverless cars and automated traffic flow. New technology "introduces new classes of accidents and adversaries," the group pointed out.
