Automated Vehicles and Infrastructure Enablers: Cybersecurity

Abstract

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">While weaponizing automated vehicles (AVs) seems unlikely, cybersecurity breaches may disrupt automated driving systems’ navigation, operation, and safety—especially with the proliferation of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies. The design, maintenance, and management of digital infrastructure, including cloud computing, V2X, and communications, can make the difference in whether AVs can operate and gain consumer and regulator confidence more broadly. Effective cybersecurity standards, physical and digital security practices, and well-thought-out design can provide a layered approach to avoiding and mitigating cyber breaches for advanced driver assistance systems and AVs alike. Addressing cybersecurity may be key to unlocking benefits in safety, reduced emissions, operations, and navigation that rely on external communication with the vehicle.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph"><b>Automated Vehicles and Infrastructure Enablers: Cybersecurity</b> focuses on considerations regarding cybersecurity and AVs from the perspective of V2X infrastructure, including electric charging infrastructure. These issues are examined in the context of initiatives in the US at all levels of government and regulatory frameworks in the UK, Europe, and Asia.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph"><a href="https://www.sae.org/publications/edge-research-reports" target="_blank">Click here to access the full SAE EDGE</a>^TM<a href="https://www.sae.org/publications/edge-research-reports" target="_blank"> Research Report portfolio.</a></div></div>
