Our scenario is roughly like this:
- the car has an IP-based on board network between its
  ECUs for internal control. This directly impacts the safety of
  the car in many cases. It's operation should be completely independent
  of any outside connectivity and addressing schemes.
- outside connectivity to the Internet may be provided by several
  ways (built-in GSM/UMTS/LTE interfaces, smartphone thethering,
  WLAN hotspots etc.). The car will probably use changing addresses,
  may be multi-homed and may have intermittent connectivity.
  It may be connected to other cars, the Internet or other entities.
  All these external connections should be terminated at a security
  gateway for security reasons.

Since ULAs are disconnected, we intend to use a tunnel for remote
diagnostic access to ECUs.

Permanent addresses may be problematic with respect to privacy issues.
Is there a need that connections are initiated from the outside to the
car? Maybe it's better to let the car initiate connections. MobileIP
may be of use for providing seamless connectivity while the car is
changing network access points.

Yep. Thanks for the pointer to the slides.

Our particular focus in the SEIS project is to securely
replace the existing network heterogeneity in the on-board network
(CAN, MOST, Flexray, etc.) by using IP as common base. It's clear that
the car will be connected to the outside in various ways, using a
variety of different services.
