CYBERSECURITY RISKS WHILE DRIVING CAR

In recent years, the automotive industry has experienced a significant transformation through the application of new technologies that enable the car to communicate with the outside world. This technological revolution has brought numerous advantages in terms of the safety of road users, comfort, and efficiency. Still, at the same time it has opened the door to new challenges in the field of cyber security. Also, newer vehicles increasingly rely on the use of a number of sophisticated technologies that include sensors, cameras, GPS, radar, LiDAR, and advanced computer systems. All the mentioned systems can be susceptible to cyber-attacks, which must not be allowed in order to avoid unwanted consequences. This paper explores current threats and vulnerabilities affecting vehicle cyber security, including attacks on network systems, unauthorized access to control modules, data security as well as software manipulation.
