Fellowship Final Report: Final Report – Research on Connected & Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs)

The development of CAVs has changed our transportation roadmap. The modern vehicle is equipped with 100’s of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) that together contain many million lines of code. Due to this connectivity, a vehicle can communicate not only with systems in the Cloud through the Internet, but also with other vehicles and with roadside infrastructure such as traffic signals. Access to any one of these might enable data leakage or provide control of the vehicle to unauthorized parties. This makes CAVs susceptible to cyber risks including invasion of Privacy, Connection Risks, Mobile Application Vulnerabilities, Supply Chain Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities, Manipulation of safety critical control, and Vehicle theft.
