Abstract

Systems and methods may be used for vehicle support or operation. A method may be performed using an edge device to support operations of a vehicle. The method may include receiving a request from a vehicle component to register with an artificial intelligence processing component of the edge device, sending an acknowledgement of the registration to the vehicle component, receiving a request for a service of the artificial intelligence processing component, and providing, to the vehicle component in response to the request, a response from the service.

Claims (22)

1. An edge device configured to support operations of a vehicle comprising:

processing circuitry; and

a memory device comprising instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the processing circuitry to perform operations to:

receive a request for a security compliance level of a vehicle component corresponding to driver support or automated driving control;

retrieve a tag for the vehicle component, the tag identifying the security compliance level;

provide, for the vehicle component in response to the request, the security compliance level from the tag; and

receive, in response to providing the security compliance level from the tag, an indication to deactivate the vehicle component based on the security compliance level failing to fulfill a compliance requirement.

2. The edge device of claim 1 , wherein the security compliance level includes a low level, a medium, level, and a highest level of compliance.

3. The edge device of claim 1 , wherein the security compliance level corresponds to Article 3 requirements of a Radio Equipment Directive regulation of the European Union.

4. The edge device of claim 1 , wherein the security compliance level corresponds to a Cybersecurity Act of the European Union.

5. The edge device of claim 1 , wherein the request is from a device on a network that is external to a network of the vehicle component and the edge device.

6. The edge device of claim 1 , wherein the tag has a data structure including a tagging identifier, a tagging authority, a tagging confirmation code, public tagging information including the security compliance level, private tagging information shared only when the request is authorized, and a security feature, wherein to provide the security compliance level from the tag includes to provide the security compliance level from the tag in response to determining that an entity making the request for the security compliance level has a specified level of authorization.

7. At least one machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions for operating an edge device configured to support operations of a vehicle, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processing circuitry of an edge computing device operable in an edge computing system, cause the processing circuitry to perform operations that:

receive a request for a security compliance level of a vehicle component corresponding to driver support or automated driving control;

retrieve a tag for the vehicle component, the tag identifying the security compliance level;

provide, for the vehicle component in response to the request, the security compliance level from the tag; and

receive, in response to providing the security compliance level from the tag, an indication to deactivate the vehicle component based on the security compliance level failing to fulfill a compliance requirement.

8. The machine-readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the security compliance level includes a low level, a medium, level, and a highest level of compliance.

9. The machine-readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the security compliance level corresponds to Article 3 requirements of a Radio Equipment Directive regulation of the European Union.

10. The machine-readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the security compliance level corresponds to a Cybersecurity Act of the European Union.

11. The machine-readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the request is from a device on a network that is external to a network of the vehicle component and the edge device.

12. The machine-readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the tag has a data structure including a tagging identifier, a tagging authority, a tagging confirmation code, public tagging information including the security compliance level, private tagging information shared only when the request is authorized, and a security feature, wherein to provide the security compliance level from the tag includes to provide the security compliance level from the tag in response to determining that an entity making the request for the security compliance level has a specified level of authorization.
