Federal fleet managers and the information technology teams working with them need to understand the threats associated with modern vehicles. As vehicles become safer overall, the dangers change from distracted drivers to privacy intrusion and compromised operation. While fleet managers cannot necessarily change the configurations of manufacturer settings in mass market vehicles, they can influence what protective measures are taken in supplemental equipment or pilot-project vehicles. This report identifies security concerns, mitigation techniques, and procurement language that may be applicable in certain cases.
