Eystein Stenberg presents a talk on the opportunities for over-the-air updates for connected cars.

Using recent real-world stories, Northern.tech's Eystein Stenberg presents at the Embedded Linux Conference & OpenIoT Summit, discussing the opportunities for over-the-air updates to connected cars. He covers:

  • Opportunities OEMs have for connected vehicles, as demonstrated by Tesla’s ability to provide over-the-air (OTA) software updates that Elon Musk claims has reduced the chances of having an accident by 50%. It also provided Tesla with new revenue streams via the Autopilot's suite of autonomous driving functions.
  • The anatomy of the Jeep Cherokee hack: the technical details of how the Jeep Cherokee was hacked and steps you can take to reduce your attack surface. We will detail what Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek revealed and how they gained control of the car remotely, as ewll as provide specific security strategies.
  • Best practices on delivering over-the-air software updates with failover management.

Regulatory bodies, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Medical Device Regulation (MDR), ensure the safety, effectiveness, and quality of medical devices. For software-driven devices, compliance is an ongoing process; each update or modification can present regulatory challenges for manufacturers. The rapid pace of software innovation makes navigating regulations more complex. Proactively addressing these challenges enhances quality, improves reliability and safety, and adds value for both patients and healthcare providers.
