"Cybersecurity is one of the core capabilities that we are
delivering in our products and solutions. With the rapid advances
in vehicle technology, the need to safeguard the integrity and
security of the systems becomes more urgent," said Lee Shiang Long, President of ST Engineering's
Land Systems arm. "The multi-layer protection that SafeRide offers
provides a comprehensive cybersecurity suite for ensuring that our
next generation vehicles are safe from cyber threats."
This on-board cybersecurity capability will integrate with ST
Engineering's in-house cybersecurity capabilities such as wireless
connectivity and software applications to provide a robust solution
to diagnose and eliminate potential cyber vulnerabilities of the
Group's connected and autonomous vehicles.
SafeRide's vSentry™, is a multidisciplinary cybersecurity
solution that combines a multi-layer deterministic, zero
false-positive, security engine with a unique Artificial
Intelligence (AI) based anomaly uncovering and response engine for
future-proof protection against known and unknown threats and
anomalies. Offering multiple layers of protection, the holistic
security suite protects the vehicle connectivity channels,
connected application software and the in-vehicle network, to
enable safety and protection of digital assets.
"We feel privileged that ST Engineering, a leader in advancing
autonomous bus solutions, has chosen us as a partner for its next
generation AV platforms, and feel excited about the opportunities
ahead," said Yossi Vardi, SafeRide
CEO and Co-Founder. "The robust security and value-added services
that SafeRide's solution enables are key for supporting the AV
projects as well as other leading industry innovations that ST
Engineering drives."
In early June 2018, ST Engineering
started on-road testing of its autonomous mobility-on-demand
vehicle in Singapore's resort
island, Sentosa. It has combined a variety of technologies such as
radar, lidars, GPS, odometry, and computer vision, to transform a
6.8-metre electric bus into one that is capable of sensing its
environment and navigating without human input. The advanced
control systems interpret fused sensory information and identify
appropriate navigation paths, as well as obstacles and relevant
signage.
