Abstract

The automotive domain is undergoing a tremendous transformation in the speed and depth of technological development in recent years. Most of the innovations are based on electronics and ICT. As it is the case for most ICT-based systems, there are increasing concerns about security and privacy in the automotive domain. In this paper, we present a technical and social analysis of this issue using a methodological scenario building approach. We believe that current and future solutions must take both technical and social aspect into consideration. Our analysis provides stakeholders with such a view.
