Future of Cyber Security for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles

Autonomous vehicles make use of sensors and complex algorithms to detect and respond to their surroundings. Thanks to these technologies, autonomous vehicles don't necessitate a driver to complete even complex journeys. Additionally, multiple autonomous vehicles can communicate with each other to improve traffic and obstacle avoidance. The evolution in automation levels of cars is summarised in Figure 1. Many companies such as Waymo and Tesla are now hugely investing in a future lead by Autonomous vehicles (self-driving cars).
