Utilizing IoT Technologies for Remote Diagnostics of Next Generation Vehicles

One of the most notable extensions in next generation vehicles are related to connectivity mechanism. Remote access to the car allows users, manufacturers and service personnel to track, maintain and improve vehicles in the abundance of use cases. Implementation of remote access involves software technologies, which are prone to security threats. On the other hand, proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) brings connectivity solutions that may be applied in automotive. In this paper, we present a design where existing IoT technology is utilized to enhance automotive middleware (Adaptive AUTOSAR) and enable remote monitoring and diagnostics services for vehicles. This way we give indication of feasibility of today's IoT in automotive context.
