Abstract
AVs are somewhat in a fairly active evolution that provides opportunities for considerable changes to safety, effectiveness, and transport accessibility. Being integrated and AI-based controlled systems, AVs are designed to reduce crashes, reduce transport costs, and reimagine urban mobility. However, the over-defense of the AV system becomes a problem as AV technology becomes more advanced and becomes a massive cybersecurity threat. Real automated systems involve numerous sensors, efficient decision-makers, and cloud-based architecture, and all such systems are vulnerable to hackers. The issues in these interconnected systems are the possibility of disruption of sensors, data breaches, and malware, to name a few. Future work depends upon cybersecurity measures where the threat space for AVs might continue expanding and ill-equipped to handle unauthorized access and harm risk for passengers and the public. In this article, the author identifies several key risks associated with cybersecurity in autonomous vehicles (AVs) and provides new examples that illustrate the consequences of these threats. This article offers a user-friendly overview of the AV industry today by evaluating the current state of defensive initiatives and regulatory activities related to cybersecurity. The author explores how the landscape for Chief Data Officers (CDOs) may evolve, emphasizing the importance of cooperative defense measures, advanced AI protection methods, and emerging regulations. Given the complexities of the AV ecosystem, critical research directions are essential for achieving robust security. Future security solutions will not be one-time fixes; instead, they will require an ongoing process of collaboration among industries, continuous research and development of innovative solutions, and new regulations to protect AV systems from evolving cyber threats.
