Survey on security in autonomous cars

Abstract

The improvements made in automotive control systems and sensory technologies have led to the rise in autonomous cars. These cars use a wide range of networking and sensory technologies to control the car and interact with the environment. One recent application which is making headway is in the alliance of the IoT and autonomous cars. Since the IoT focuses on connectivity between different isolated devices found over the web, it is also used to provide services to autonomous cars. It is therefore, imperative to ensure that data privacy and security is maintained by the system. Hence, this paper surveys and discusses the security issues faced in autonomous cars.
