What is Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Communication

The rapid advancement of automotive vehicle communication technology ushered in the expansion of the cyber-attack surface on this type of transport system. A recent study projects that there will be 200 million vehicles on the road worldwide with embedded connectivity by 2025. The security and safety of these vehicles and, most importantly, their occupants are paramount. Recognizing this need, organizations consisting of entities from governments, manufacturers, service providers, professionals, and/or trade groups are constantly introducing, revising, and updating automotive vehicle security standards and regulations. This chapter examines the state of automotive vehicle communication, their vulnerabilities and security issues, the existing security standards and regulations that apply to this type of transport, and the compliance and auditing issues related to these directives. The chapter concludes with reflections and directions for continuous improvements and future research.
