1. A device comprising:
- a first interface configured to use a first network protocol;
a second interface configured to use a second network protocol, wherein the first network protocol differs from the second network protocol; and
a computing device configured to access a first vehicle bus in a vehicle via the first interface and access a second vehicle bus in the vehicle via the second interface, and wherein the computing device is further configured to;
manage transmission of messages between the first vehicle bus and the second vehicle bus, andauthorize access to the first vehicle bus and the second vehicle bus.
