One of the biggest risks of self-driving technology is the potential risk of piracy. With current cybersecurity technology, the danger of a fully automatic car is very high. advertising production. However, cybersecurity engineers are making great strides towards making self-driving technology resistant to hacking. For example, Coventry University and Crypta Labs teamed up to create a quantum-based encryption system numbers. This encryption system will work similar to a blockchain system. used to decentralize information. (Bowles, 2018) This means that information will not be stored in one area, but in several places, which makes it very difficult to hack such a system. Experts also believe that by the time autonomous vehicles are built, a system that will be secure enough to protect users from hackers will have been created. Research director Rapid7, Craig Smith believes current self-driving technology is based on 1 or 2 sensors, however, future self-driving cars will have a network of sensors working together. In order To hack such a system, a hacker would have to infiltrate the entire complex sensor network. this will be difficult for most hackers. Craig Smith, ideally for the artificial intelligence of the system will be able to protect itself and forward the hack to authorities and / or the company (Bowles, 2018) Overall, although current cybersecurity technology is not enough to prevent hackers from creating software for penetrating autonomous vehicles, stronger preventive methods will be developed as the cybersecurity field continues to grow and advance.
