To cope with this, manufacturers must start setting firewalls to restrict access from integrated systems, he pointed out. There is a strong presence of interconnectivity between vehicle networks, so a breach in one network may cause havoc in another, Curran said.
Because of these features, human error will nearly be removed from driving, therefore making it a safer and more enjoyable experience, Stiller said.

The dependence on connected devices and Internet-enable vehicles also mean consumers will start increasing their trust on automated systems. This will lead to increased adoption of autonomous vehicles.
Thewidespread adoption of connected carswill allow consumers to treat their vehicles as just another one of their devices. Hosting mobile operating systems and purchasing data packages from wireless providers will be commonplace in the future, Miller said.
