Attendees met with representatives from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the U.S. House Committee on Small Business, as well as with other committees, General Motors, Global Automakers and the Future of Privacy Forum to address vehicle security issues. The House Small Business Committee has been active with small business cybersecurity concerns and is working closely with the House Energy and Commerce Committee on this issue.
