Auto Industry forming an association to combat hackers.

Car makers are coming together to form an association to prevent hackers who might try to break into a vehicle's security system, an effort which has gotten a nod from Federal regulators in the U.S

David Strickland, the former director of NHTSA who is now a consultant for the Venable LLP said"

The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers and the Association of Global Automakers are helping to coordinate the effort"

Automakers are looking forward to creating a secure firewall vehicle-to-vehicle communications and also for vehicle data links to "the cloud".

The concept is for automakers to share information about attempted security breaches, so that any threat can be quickly neutralized.

According to Strickland, "the goal is make it very, very hard " for hackers to breach a vehicles security system.
