Therapy Tuesday is going to be WILD on here.

I think you mean Therapy Thursday. I believe it's Tantrum Tuesday earlier in the week.

UN Regulations on Cybersecurity and Software Updates to pave the way for mass roll out of ‎connected vehicles ‎ | UNECE

unece.org

It's mandatory for EU cars come July 2024. Thus the reason for the Job posting? ...that's only 7 months from now!

OK, this is a good explanation, thank you - based on my reading, for Lotus and the Emira we are talking about DevSecOps and data protection to ensure safe operability of the software and protection of PII. Not, for any OTA security. So then the question becomes would this role be posted for the subsequent EV platform that may be built in Hethel? Doesn't seem likely at all, but maybe the new platform requires some sort emissions testing and reporting too? (wishful thinking since the new Lotus EVs do have OTA)

The Cyber Security component is being a little over-analyzed. It's in the "desirable" section, and way down on that list, with no elaboration other than "cyber security". It could just be a general reference to someone with some cyber security experience, such as implementing cyber security requirements at prior jobs.

I have no doubt security is a key consideration for cars that offer OTA software updates and always-on network connectivity. However, I would gather that the bulk of the work is going to be done at Geely and Hethel just needs to be involved in the implementation.

Edit: Implementation has a very specific meaning in software/systems engineering - it's not the coding/building part, which happens in development. Implementation is putting the finished software/systems into use.

I wonder what kind of issue they were running into? Seems its nothing federal/carb related since its worldwide...Anyone have any ides? Bad motors? IT? software/hardware failures?

[4MIR3]

Are you really surprised?

 

[silent cilantro]

Not one bit haha

 

[DerTheDer]

Teams call, so I mean it could be....Big........

 

[Nova]

I mean, a Teams call makes sense. It's not like they need to fly people in to meet in person.

 

[Pegasi]

Dealers seem to be talking. Fingers crossed everyone!

 

[silent cilantro]

I’m ready for anything

 

[B r I a n]

When was the last time they had a teams call?
I am guessing they do not happen very often.

 

[Hell4Leather]

It’s probably monthly

 

[Lowtush]

It’s probably monthly

Could be weekly!

 

[B r I a n]

Could be weekly!

Based on all the feedback afterwards, I am thinking more like quarterly.

 

[DerTheDer]

Anyone else looking forward to being dissapointed tomorrow?

 

[4MIR3]

Anyone know what time the meeting is?

 

[DerTheDer]

Anyone know what time the meeting is?

Probably 445 pm est and the dealers close at 5pm. So we won't know till Tuesday.
