Self-driving vehicles have been a topic of discussion for several years now, and with the advancements in technology, they are becoming a reality. However, with the introduction of self-driving vehicles, there are several security issues that need to be addressed. These issues range from cybersecurity threats to ethical concerns. The purpose of this paper is to explore the security issues of self-driving vehicles and the measures that can be taken to mitigate these risks.

Self-driving vehicles, also known as autonomous vehicles, are vehicles that can operate without human intervention. These vehicles use a combination of sensors, cameras, and software to navigate the roads and make decisions. The technology behind self-driving vehicles is constantly evolving, and it is expected that they will become more prevalent in the coming years. However, with the introduction of this technology, there are several security issues that need to be addressed.

The security issues of self-driving vehicles are complex and multifaceted. Cybersecurity threats are one of the most significant concerns. Hackers can potentially gain access to the vehicle’s software and take control of the vehicle, causing accidents or even using the vehicle as a weapon. Additionally, there are ethical concerns surrounding self-driving vehicles, such as the decision-making process in the event of an accident. This paper will explore these security issues and provide recommendations for mitigating these risks.

According to a report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were 37,461 fatalities on U.S. roads in 2016. The introduction of self-driving vehicles has the potential to reduce this number significantly. However, it is essential to address the security issues of self-driving vehicles to ensure that they are safe for use on the roads. This paper will provide an in-depth analysis of the security issues of self-driving vehicles and the measures that can be taken to mitigate these risks.
