Karachi: (RightNow) The use of Over-the-Air (OTA) technology in vehicles has raised cybersecurity concerns. Experts emphasize the need for additional security measures.

According to a report, OTA technology allows vehicle software updates without visiting a workshop. Tesla first introduced this technology in 2012.

Experts state that while this technology is useful for fast and cost-effective updates, it also increases security risks. Professor Siraj Sheikh from Swansea University highlights its importance.

Singaporean expert Gabriel Lim warns that this technology could pose a threat to national security. Countries like Norway and the UK have also expressed concerns.

It is important to note that OTA technology is used not only in vehicles but also in railways, ships, and other industrial machinery. Governments must ensure transparency and security in its usage.
