Repair-It

- General Motors is showing this intriguing illustration of its new vehicle electric architecture, which provides the speed and capacity that modern active-safety, infotainment, and connectivity systems need.

- The system debuts on the 2020 Cadillac CT5 sedan and should migrate across the GM lineup by the 2023 model year.

- "Bug Bounty" program initiated to expose security threats early on in the development stage.

With the development of digital-based electronic technology, infotainment, and even electric propulsion systems showing no signs of slowing for the next decade or several, it comes as little surprise that manufacturers have begun to address the methods and speed with which data and impulses move throughout a vehicle's subsystems. This recently announced system from General Motors, which will hit showrooms later this summer in the 2020 Cadillac CT5, claims to be capable of managing up to 4.5 terabytes of data processing power per hour—that's five times as fast as GM's current electrical architecture can manage. Perhaps more interesting, the system can do over-the-air (OTA) system and software updates, not unlike those that Tesla uses.

GM's Security-Breach Bug Hunt
Well aware of the potential of cyberthreats and security breaches, the system is said to include protective features at the hardware and software levels. that reflect the company’s foresight in this regard. GM is quick to point out that it was among the first automakers to create a worldwide product cybersecurity organization, which has branched out to create a "bug bounty" program.
