Cars today are highly connected. Every new car has some wireless technologies built into it.

The problem is that there are massive holes in how car companies are securing these features against hackers.

If you can figure out an algorithm that sends information around the world in a blink of an eye, you should be able to figure out an algorithm that also provides consumers with the privacy and security which they need as they are driving…

Only two of the 16 car companies who responded have developed any capability to detect and respond to a hacking attack in real time.

Senator Markey very eloquently indicated that if we can do the algorithms that send messages around the world, we can have algorithms that protect us.

Now President Obama is using the Clean Air Act to reduce carbon pollution from power plants.

I think it is pretty clear that it is going to be possible to reduce carbon, to increase the GDP, to enhance the reliability of the system while engaging in significant job growth in our Country.

I think, from my perspective, if each member was given at least 1 minute to make an opening statement...

I encourage Internet of Things designers to keep this case study in mind and make sure they are creating functionality that serves the consumers.

Ultimately, consumers should be empowered to make that choice and to control what the devices collect about them.

We absolutely need to find a better way to incentivize rigorous security practices built into products from the beginning because the status quo is not cutting it.

I am also concerned about how DOE EPSCoR handled last year's Implementation Grant award process.
