In this talk, Andreas Weichslgartner from CARIAD will show how contemporary software engineering can help to write more secure code and detect vulnerabilities already during development.

He will revisit historical vulnerabilities in the automotive space and take a look at common classes of bugs present in embedded software.

Using these examples, he will show how modern programming language evolution and tooling can tackle and prevent these issues.

In addition, he will examine current trends towards more secure and safe programming languages eliminating the shown bug classes in the future.

This talk was presented at FuzzCon Europe - Automotive Edition 2022.
