Understanding how to protect autonomous vehicles from cyber threats in increasingly connected and intelligent transportation systems.
Autonomous Vehicle Security is an emerging cybersecurity topic that focuses on protecting self-driving cars from digital attacks. With modern vehicles relying on software, sensors, wireless communication, and cloud integration, they present new and complex vulnerabilities. This research area teaches students how to analyze threats to vehicle networks, secure communication protocols, and develop defensive strategies against hacking and data tampering. As autonomous transportation becomes more common, expertise in this field is essential for ensuring safety, privacy, and trust in the systems that will shape the future of mobility.
