Two U.S. senators filed a bill that would require the federal government to establish standards to ensure automakers secure a driver against vehicle cyber attacks.
The Security and Privacy in Your Car (SPY Car) Act, filed by Sens. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), also establishes a rating system — or "cyber dashboard"— that informs consumers about how well the vehicle protects drivers' security and privacy beyond the proposed federal minimum standards, said ComputerWorld.
