"Autonomous Vehicles Vulnerable to Malicious Attacks: Sensor System at Risk As self-driving cars continue to revolutionize the transportation industry, concerns are growing about the potential for hackers to compromise their safety-critical systems. An array of sensors, including cameras, lidar, and radar, are essential for an autonomous vehicle's (AV) ability to navigate roadways and recognize obstacles. However, the complexity of these systems also creates a vulnerability to malicious attacks, which could have devastating consequences. With the increasing reliance on connected and autonomous technologies, experts warn that the risk of cyber threats to AVs is a pressing issue that must be addressed to ensure the safety of passengers and other road users."
An array of sensors are needed for an AV’s system to navigate roadways and recognize obstacles. While errors might crop up naturally, a threat of malicious attacks exists that could affect an AV’s ...
