Self-driving vehicles have been a topic of interest for many years, and with the advancements in technology, they are becoming a reality. However, with the rise of autonomous vehicles, there are also concerns about their security. The security issues of self-driving vehicles are a significant concern for the automotive industry, policymakers, and the public. The potential risks associated with self-driving vehicles include cyber-attacks, hacking, and privacy breaches. These risks can have severe consequences, including accidents, loss of life, and financial losses. Therefore, it is essential to address these security issues to ensure the safety and security of self-driving vehicles.

The term self-driving vehicles refer to vehicles that can operate without human intervention. These vehicles use various technologies such as sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence to navigate and make decisions. The technology behind self-driving vehicles is complex, and it requires a high level of security to ensure that the vehicles operate safely and securely.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the security issues of self-driving vehicles and the potential risks associated with them. This paper will examine the current state of self-driving vehicle security, the potential risks associated with self-driving vehicles, and the measures that can be taken to address these risks. The paper will also discuss the role of policymakers and the automotive industry in ensuring the security of self-driving vehicles.

According to a study by KPMG, cybersecurity is the most significant challenge facing the autonomous vehicle industry (KPMG, 2019). Another study by the University of Michigan found that self-driving vehicles are vulnerable to cyber-attacks, which can result in accidents and loss of life (Koscher et al., 2010). A third study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that self-driving vehicles are vulnerable to hacking, which can result in privacy breaches and financial losses (NHTSA, 2016). These studies highlight the importance of addressing the security issues of self-driving vehicles.
