Car Security System Market Trends

Increased emphasis on connected car security could be an emerging trend across the car security system industry. With the increasing connectivity of vehicles (connected cars), there is a growing need for robust security measures to protect against cyber threats. Upcoming trends may involve the development of security systems specifically designed to safeguard the digital infrastructure of connected cars. This includes measures to prevent hacking, secure data transmission, and protect in-car communication systems, contributing to the overall cybersecurity of vehicles.
 

Against this backdrop, in July 2023, A research team led by the University of Michigan was awarded a significant USD 1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation for the development and testing of Battery Sleuth, an innovative vehicle security system designed to protect against both advanced wireless hacking and traditional break-ins. What distinguishes Battery Sleuth is its unconventional approach to authentication, moving away from standard methods like wireless key fobs and onboard networks.
 

In a departure from traditional approaches, the system authenticates drivers by analyzing voltage fluctuations within the vehicle's electrical system. To engage with the system, drivers utilize a keypad device that is connected to the auxiliary power outlet. The simplicity of the power outlet is a noteworthy advantage, as it consists of just a wire connected to the battery, eliminating potential vulnerabilities for hacking attempts.
