European Perspective on Security Technology

Abstract
Car crime alone costs the British motorists £3 billion
annually. Also results from a recent Fleet Marketing Survey
revealed 32% of British drivers belive that they will become
victims of car crime. The same survey also asked if vehicle
manufacturers should be doing more to build security into their
vehicles. A staggering 91% said yes!
Therefore for example, with the technical interface of such
regular items as engine motronics communicating with new
infotronics - it is a golden opportunity for global manufacturers
to link up with new generation engine software lock immobilizers or
something equivalent and consider other special security
features.
Good brand equity on security technology, in my opinion is vital
and here to stay! Apart from having satisfied buying customers,
security needs to be recognised and approved with the local type
approval agencies, insurance industry, police and many government
bodies. My paper will address these fundamental issues in more
detail.
