Self-driving vehicles have been a topic of discussion 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 the security issues that come with them. These security issues include theft of personal data, mobile application security vulnerabilities, and lack of “designed-in” security issues. In this paper, we will explore these security issues and their potential impact on the safety and privacy of individuals using self-driving vehicles. To understand the security issues of self-driving vehicles, it is important to define what they are. Self-driving vehicles are cars that use sensors, cameras, and other technologies to navigate and operate without human intervention. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the transportation industry, but it also raises concerns about the security of the data collected by these vehicles. This paper will argue that the security issues of self-driving vehicles must be addressed to ensure the safety and privacy of individuals. This argument will be supported by four journal articles, including “Security and Privacy Challenges in the Road to Autonomous Vehicles” (2018), “Security and Privacy in Autonomous Vehicles: A Review” (2019), “Security and Privacy in Self-Driving Cars: A Review” (2018), and “Security and Privacy in Self-Driving Cars: Risks and Solutions” (2019).
