Self-driving vehicles have been a topic of interest in recent years due to their potential to revolutionize the transportation industry. However, the security issues associated with these vehicles have also been a major concern. One of the main security issues is the vulnerability of self-driving vehicles to cyber-attacks. According to a study by Kaspersky Lab, self-driving vehicles are vulnerable to hacking, which can lead to accidents and loss of life (Kaspersky Lab, 2018). Another study by the University of Michigan found that self-driving vehicles can be easily fooled by fake road signs and markings, which can cause accidents (Elliott et al., 2017). In addition, a study by the University of California, San Diego, found that self-driving vehicles can be hacked through their sensors, which can cause them to malfunction (Checkoway et al., 2011). Finally, a study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that self-driving vehicles can be vulnerable to physical attacks, such as vandalism and theft (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 2018). These studies highlight the need for increased security measures to ensure the safety of self-driving vehicles and their passengers.
