MP3•Episode home

In this episode of the Plaxidity X automotive cybersecurity podcast, Cars, Hackers, & Cybersecurity, we explore the groundbreaking transition from Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs) to User Defined Vehicles (UDVs) and what it means for the automotive industry. Modern vehicles are no longer just machines—they are customizable digital platforms, allowing car owners to install apps, update software, and tailor their driving experience to meet their personal needs, much like a smartphone. We’ll delve into how this shift is paving the way for enhanced connected services, improved in-car experiences, and new business models for car manufacturers, who now have the potential to generate significant revenue from selling on-demand features.

But this leap forward in vehicle customization also comes with new cybersecurity challenges. As cars become increasingly software-driven, they are more vulnerable to potential cyberattacks through over-the-air (OTA) updates and third-party applications. We explore how the automotive industry can protect vehicles from digital threats, while continuing to innovate and offer a seamless, personalized user experience.

We'll also discuss how major players like Tesla and Nio are leading the charge in the UDV space, continuously rolling out software updates and refining vehicle features based on user feedback. Join us as we take a closer look at how the future of automotive technology is moving towards a more user-defined, connected, and secure world.

With next-generation vehicles rapidly transforming into software-defined platforms powered by High-Performance Computers (HPCs), the approach to automotive security is fundamentally changing. These powerful central processors are critical for everything from infotainment to autonomous driving, but their consolidation also creates a significant single point of failure and a vastly expanded attack surface. In this briefing, we unpack the unique cybersecurity challenges presented by automotive HPCs . We'll explore how these systems manage mixed-criticality functions, the inherent risks of integrating diverse software on a single SoC, and the evolving threat landscape that includes everything from connectivity exploits to supply chain vulnerabilities. Imagine an attacker escalating privileges from a non-critical app to seize control of safety systems – the stakes couldn't be higher. Join us to understand the essential defense-in-depth strategies for securing these complex automotive brains, from implementing Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to adopting rigorous Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) methodologies and real-time VSOC monitoring.

11:25

Touted as an off-the-shelf solution for key fob programming , a mysterious PSP-like Car Key Registration Device promises to sidestep traditional authorization channels. In this episode, we share how the PlaxidityX team simulated various car responses to test whether the device truly mirrored official protocols. They recount the odd mix of user-friendly design and features like “turn ignition on,” which raise eyebrows for anyone concerned about vehicle theft. Surprisingly, the device carried a comprehensive database of manufacturer codes, potentially reverse-engineered from legitimate testers. Even more startling was the ease of resetting the gadget once it locked itself, underscoring the supportive network fueling its use in unauthorized contexts. Alongside these alarming observations, the episode highlights that the device’s disclaimers appear designed to deflect responsibility from its creators. Despite the unsettling findings, there are proven strategies to neutralize the threat. Strengthening firmware, enforcing server-based authentication, and employing more complex vehicle security checks can all limit the device’s impact. The lesson rings clear: even consumer-facing auto repair tools must be scrutinized to protect cars from malicious misuse. In essence, the conversation underscores that automotive cybersecurity demands both technological vigilance and a readiness to adapt.

30:07

Have you ever wondered how microcontrollers in vehicles manage memory access behind the scenes? This episode sheds light on the Memory Protection Unit, an essential yet sometimes overlooked hardware layer designed to stop unauthorized reads, writes, and execution. We revisit fundamental principles—like differentiating between the Core MPU (CMPU) and the System MPU (SMPU)—and explain how each can become a target for cyber attackers. Through detailed automotive cyber security case studies involving two newly discovered vulnerabilities, we reveal how a privileged attacker might disable the SMPU entirely. When that happens, carefully drawn security boundaries collapse, exposing critical sections of code and data. The conversation further explores how incomplete hardware locking mechanisms can nullify protective features, leaving devices open to unexpected exploits. Despite these alarming scenarios, there are proven strategies for mitigating threats. We discuss testing every crucial claim in the datasheet, adopting multiple layers of security, and monitoring vendor errata to stay informed about updated countermeasures. This episode will challenge listeners to question assumptions and take a closer look at an automotive security architecture often assumed to be rock-solid.
