Hardening the CAV Ecosystem and Reducing Cybersecurity Risks

Hardening the Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) Ecosystem to reduce cybersecurity risks requires a concerted, multi-pronged approach that incorporates vehicles, diverse sensors, roadside units, and transportation infrastructure including cellular networks and edge/cloud computing facilities. In this presentation we will present a proposed security analysis framework to study various cybersecurity risks in the CAV ecosystems. In particular, we will discuss new attacks on AI (artificial intelligence) algorithms and systems used for cooperative perception, driving, and traffic control and propose potential new directions in mitigating such threats.
