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 artificial intelligence to navigate the roads. 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 concerns that need to be addressed.

According to a study conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), cybersecurity threats are one of the biggest security concerns of self-driving vehicles. Hackers can gain access to the vehicle’s systems and take control of the vehicle, which can lead to accidents and even fatalities. Another study conducted by the University of Michigan found that self-driving vehicles are vulnerable to GPS spoofing attacks, which can cause the vehicle to deviate from its intended path. These security concerns highlight the need for robust cybersecurity measures to be implemented in self-driving vehicles.

In conclusion, the security issues of self-driving vehicles are a cause for concern, and it is essential that these issues are addressed before the widespread adoption of this technology. This paper will explore the various security concerns of self-driving vehicles and the measures that can be taken to mitigate these risks.
