BlackBerry to work on vehicle security

TORONTO: BlackBerry Ltd is working with at least two carmakers to develop a security service that would remotely scan vehicles for computer viruses and tell drivers to pull over if they were in critical danger, according to a financial analyst. The service, which would also be able to install security patches to an idle car, was being tested by luxury carmakers Aston Martin and Range Rover, said Macquarie analyst Gus Papageorgiou in a note to clients sent late on Monday.
