UNCOVER

The aim of the UNCOVER project is to develop methods and tools that record such incidents in autonomous driving functions in a systematic and structured manner. In doing so, findings from incidents in driving operations will be transferred back to model-based development. Subsequently, concepts for a re-design can be developed that consider the identified vulnerabilities and their impact on the vehicle architecture. A flexible monitoring platform is being developed to provide a tool for identification and detection that considers both cybersecurity standards and data protection aspects

UNCOVER’s approach aims to demonstrate that security risk detection and recovery response can be shortened using continuous monitoring. This is possible in particular thanks to data-based evaluation and the feedback of the results into vehicle development.

The project results are highly relevant for the German automotive industry, but can also be transferred to other safety-critical areas such as Industry 4.0, critical infrastructures or medical technology.
