Risks of quantum computing in the automotive industry
Risks of quantum computing in the automotive industry

Impact of quantum computing technology on the automotive industry, the potential cybersecurity risks of the new technology and the risk mitigation options for car manufacturers. Quantum computers are based on an emerging technology that could change the design and use of cars in the future. They use the principles of quantum mechanics to carry out calculations that far exceed the capabilities of classical computer-aided calculations (“computing”). In contrast to classical digital calculations, which rely only on binary states of zeros and ones, the calculations use quantum bits or qubits that can exist in multiple states at the same time. Through this…
