Cybersecurity and Digital Trust Issues in Connected and Automated Vehicles EPR2024009

Given the rapid advancements in engineering and technology, it is anticipated that connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) will soon become prominent in our daily lives. This development has a vast potential to change the socio-technical perception of public, personal, and freight transportation. The potential benefits to society include reduced driving risks due to human errors, increased mobility, and overall productivity of autonomous vehicle consumers. On the other hand, the potential risks associated with CAV deployment related to technical vulnerabilities are safety and cybersecurity issues that may arise from flawed hardware and software.

Cybersecurity and Digital Trust Issues in Connected and Automated Vehicles elaborates on these topics as unsettled cybersecurity and digital trust issues in CAVs and follows with recommendations to fill in the gaps in this evolving field. This report also highlights the importance of establishing robust cybersecurity protocols and fostering digital trust in these vehicles to ensure safe and secure deployment in our modern transportation system.
