Cybersecurity in the age of connected mobility and in-cabin AI

As AI becomes increasingly embedded in mobility systems, the automotive industry faces a fundamental challenge: how do we safely secure vehicles that can reason, decide, and act in the physical world?

In this session, Dr. Matthias Lenk explores the emerging cybersecurity architecture required for the “Reasoning Car” and the critical shift needed to support AI-driven mobility safely and deterministically.

Key topics include:

• Reconciling probabilistic AI reasoning with the deterministic safety kernels required for automotive operational design domains (ODDs)
• Why Digital Twins are becoming mandatory to provide the ground truth needed to validate and anchor physical AI systems
• How LLM and workflow-model hallucinations create entirely new attack surfaces and operational risks
• Why APIs have become the control plane for AI-enabled mobility, requiring correlation between AI intent, MCP activity, telematics, vSOC operations, and Agentic AI
• The growing importance of regulatory frameworks such as the EU AI Act and ISO/PAS 8800 in reducing cyber risk and protecting organizations from model-related recalls

Dr. Lenk also addresses one of the most important principles shaping the future of autonomous systems: human life must always take priority over AI agency.
