Background Statement: Self-driving vehicles have been a topic of interest for many years, with the potential to revolutionize the transportation industry. However, as with any new technology, there are concerns about the security and safety of these vehicles.

Definition: Self-driving vehicles, also known as autonomous vehicles, are vehicles that are capable of sensing their environment and navigating without human input. These vehicles use a combination of sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence to make decisions about driving, such as accelerating, braking, and steering.

Thesis Statement: While self-driving vehicles have the potential to improve road safety and reduce accidents, there are significant security issues that need to be addressed. This paper will explore the security concerns of self-driving vehicles, including cyber attacks, privacy concerns, and ethical considerations, through an analysis of four different journal articles.
