The Categorization and Information Technology Security of Automated Vehicles

In addition to mechanical changes automation plays an increasingly important role in the evolution of vehicles. The development of autonomous automobiles is the driving force behind the evolution of the information technology (IT) infrastructure in vehicles. Self-reliance requires more and more automation. Enhanced level of automation requires increased operational reliability. This will also resulting an increased level of safety in the cyberspace of vehicles. Endangering cyberspace can also come from a threat of natural and human origin. IT security is the protection against threats of natural origin. It includes protection against natural and technological impacts. For these reasons, it is important to increase IT security in the IT infrastructure of vehicles. This article examines IT security increasing system building technologies from the aspect of the overall IT infrastructure of vehicles. These technologies enable faster processing, increased availability and greater flexibility. The study requires the creation of a new vehicle automation categorization. Technologies are examined according to these new categories and the functional layers of the general IT infrastructure
