Building a Zero Trust Security Model for Autonomous Systems

Cars That Think

Just last year, a half dozen precisely targeted malicious drones managed to slow oil production in Saudi Arabia for days, and more recently, several low-cost drones caused significant damage to oil tankers in the UAE. Modern system-on-chip designs can accelerate product development for performant and low-cost chip functionality.
