Seat belts, airbags, crush zones, speed limits and combatting drunk driving – over many decades, technological innovations and regulations have made cars ever safer. The same applies to other consumer products. We buy them with confidence and trust that they are safe. But the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) opens a new Pandora’s box. With more and more products being equipped with electronics, software and network connectivity, we are exposed to new dangers and risks. There are plenty of examples, such as networked toys that can be used to spy on children or vehicles with control systems that can be hacked and taken over remotely.
