Consulting / Automotive
Six specialist workshops covering PQC for vehicle-to-everything communications, quantum-safe OTA update security, autonomous vehicle optimisation, battery materials simulation, and automotive supply chain cryptographic risk. Delivered by practitioners with direct automotive and quantum technology experience.
The automotive sector faces a dual quantum challenge. Vehicle lifetimes of 10-15 years mean cryptographic decisions made today govern systems that will operate well into the quantum era. Simultaneously, quantum computing offers concrete opportunities in materials simulation, fleet optimisation, and powertrain development.
All sessions are delivered by subject-matter experts with direct experience in automotive systems and quantum technology. Each session is fully vendor-agnostic and configurable to your organisation's technical level and regulatory obligations.
Five structured sessions covering the highest-impact quantum applications for automotive teams. Each session combines technical depth with operational context.
Technical workshop for V2X security engineers and automotive standards delegates. Covers the quantum cryptographic exposure of DSRC and C-V2X protocols, IEEE 1609.2 certificate management for V2X PKI, and ETSI ITS security architecture under post-quantum threat. Addresses how the ETSI TC ITS and ISO/TC 204 standards bodies are approaching PQC integration, and migration timelines relative to the vehicle development cycle.
Covers the cryptographic security of OTA software update systems in connected and autonomous vehicles, including ECU firmware signing, OTA server authentication, and update delivery encryption. Addresses UNECE WP.29 R155 and R156 cybersecurity management system requirements, ISO/SAE 21434 cryptographic lifecycle obligations, and PQC migration planning for OTA infrastructure with 10-15 year vehicle lifetime constraints.
Examines quantum optimisation applications for autonomous vehicle fleet management, multi-vehicle route planning, traffic flow coordination, and charging infrastructure scheduling for EV fleets. Covers QUBO formulations for vehicle routing problems, quantum-enhanced reinforcement learning for autonomous driving decision systems, and the realistic performance advantage over classical algorithms at urban fleet scale.
Covers quantum chemistry simulation for lithium-ion and solid-state battery materials: electrolyte decomposition pathways, electrode interface modelling, and ionic transport simulation. Examines how NISQ-era quantum processors compare to classical DFT and MD simulations on specific battery materials problems and how automotive OEMs and battery manufacturers can structure quantum simulation partnerships.
Addresses the quantum cryptographic risk across multi-tier automotive supply chains, including encrypted communications between OEMs, tier-1 and tier-2 suppliers, and component manufacturers. Covers TISAX and ISO/SAE 21434 supply chain security requirements, SBOM cryptographic signing, and how to apply PQC migration pressure to suppliers through procurement contract requirements and assessment frameworks.
Advanced briefings for executive audiences. These sessions address investment sequencing, regulatory obligations, and the competitive landscape for quantum technology in the automotive sector.
Executive briefing for CISOs, CTOs, and digital strategy directors at automotive OEMs, tier-1 suppliers, and mobility technology companies. Covers the dual quantum agenda: computing applications in materials simulation, vehicle optimisation, and powertrain development alongside quantum security obligations under UNECE WP.29, ISO/SAE 21434, and TISAX. Addresses investment sequencing and the relationship between quantum readiness and type approval compliance.
