Abstract

Autonomous (driverless) vehicle technology has the potential to provide many benefits to the public, such as reducing accidents caused by human error, improving traffic efficiency, and giving more independence to the elderly and disabled. Many cars currently available to the public have some semi-autonomous features, and the progress of Google\x92s driverless car development shows that fully autonomous vehicles will be on the market in the very near future. This presentation will discuss some possible cybersecurity threats that will arise with the development of autonomous cars, as presented in a paper titled Cyber-security challenges of Agent Technology in Intelligent Transportation Systems, by Sarah Schulz Mukisa and Awais Rashid.
