Why take the survey?

The challenge for vehicle makers to deliver connected systems is having the right technology platform to take advantage of critical over-the-air (OTA) or software-over-the-air (SOTA) updates and data exchanges.

The more a vehicle interacts with its ecosystem, the more it becomes vulnerable to potential cyberattacks. A new approach is required that counters security threats.

This is the perfect time to check in with those who are working to make connected cars a reality. So if you work with connected car technology in any form, we would like to hear what you have to say.

The survey is designed to take no more than five minutes to complete, and we would be extremely grateful if you could take the time to share your opinions with us.

The survey is completely anonymous, and the results will be used for an Automotive IQ industry report produced in partnership with Tata Communications and Thales.

This will be published later in 2020 and will, of course, be completely free for all of our members to download.

Thank you in advance for your time!
