"The authors do a good job of explaining the rapid growth of IC T in the automotive industry. Importantly, the cybersecurity risks associated with this uptake are discussed--issues which the automotive industry, unlike the IT industry, would most likely not have previously encountered. This is a timely red flag to the industry that may help ensure cybersecurity risks are considered and addressed during vehicle systems design." (David B. Henderson, Computing Reviews, October 9, 2020)
