Exploring Cyber Threats Associated With Autonomous And Connected Vehicles

Abstract

Autonomous and connected vehicles (ACVs) are transforming the transportation industry by increasing efficiency, reducing costs, and improving safety. However, these developments also create new vulnerabilities and expose ACVs to cyber threats. The consequences of these threats range from mere inconvenience to severe accidents, highlighting the urgent need to address the issue of cyber security in ACVs. This literature review aims to provide an overview of the current research on cyber threats for ACVs to create awareness about the major vulnerabilities faced by modern vehicles. The review covers various types of cyber threats, such as attacks on sensors, communication networks, and control systems, and countermeasures to mitigate these threats.
