Securing IoT of the World’s Fastest Super Car

Episode Summary

Brandon Shibley is the VP of innovation at Toradex, a company that makes ARM-based System on Modules (SoM), which are different from Single Board Computers. While SBC comes with all components soldered onto the board, SoM offers different components as modules allowing for more flexibility and upgradability. SoM are used in specialized markets such as industrial automation, test and measurement, digital signage, automotive, medical, and more. SoM brings IoT capabilities to supercars, medical equipment and so on. Toradex SoM powers the world’s fastest hyper electric car Rimac Concept One, which uses Apalis iMX6. “We focus on providing industrial grade hardware solutions with long lifecycle support. We also provide software support for these System on Modules,” said Shibley. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/6ApLG7Vd9rk
