What happens when an automaker needs to recall over half their expected annual sales? Just ask Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) about their recent announcement. Given the multitude of recalls announced by automakers outside FCA, the industry must take action. FCA’s recent 1.4 million vehicle cybersecurity-related recall is not a one-off occurrence. These types of recalls can be minimized; however, it will not be a singular effort by a single automaker. Today’s connected car includes upward of 300 million lines of code compared to a 747, with roughly 75 million lines. Automotive vulnerabilities are at an all-time high and FCA’s recent recall is perfect evidence of said vulnerabilities. The real question is, who is taking the necessary action?
