This blog post is dated 5 days prior to The Intelligent Transportation Society of America's publishing of its Cybersecurity and Transportation Safety Issue Brief. The original author of the blog post was invited to speak at an ITSA.ORG conference, and present as through the eyes of an attacker. Thus, the perspective he posits. There is nothing untoward in his observations but I can see why DefCon might hold off on letting him present his findings. The ITSA is based in Washington D.C. and has a fairly large membership consisting of state's DOT's (primarily western U.S.), tech companies, car companies, engineering design companies, consulting firms, etc. Their vision is a better future transformed by transportation technology and innovation. Safer. Greener. Smarter. For all. A lot of automation is factored into that vision including the use of autonomous vehicles, high-speed inter-connected systems, their attendant technologies, and of course, cyber-security. Personally, I'm dismayed the U.S. in only now awarding grants for these studies. Maybe the whole thing got sidetracked when our focus shifted to COVID, I don't know. But it does seem as though we're behind the private and governmental initiatives going on in Asia. 1: https://itsa.org/ https://itsa.org/ 2: https://itsa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Cybersecurity-and-Transportation-Safety-Issue-Brief-Final-Version.pdf https://itsa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Cybersecurity-an... 3: https://itsa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/2026-ITS-America-Strategic-Plan.pdf https://itsa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/2026-ITS-America...
