Abstract

The emergence of connected and autonomous vehicles is at a rapid and unprecedented pace. A recent initiative by the Utah Department of Transportation calls for building a transportation information network, also known as smart roadway network, that utilizes intelligent sensors on sections of Utah highways. This $50 million project, in partnership with Panasonic, will be used to collect data along the highway, to perform data analytics, and to provide near real-time information to vehicle operators on traffic and weather conditions as well as data for infrastructure planning purposes. Although this newly found convenience is a boon to society, both socially and economically, it presents security challenges that are endemic to connected technologies. These challenges need to be addressed to ensure that the benefits derived from this emerging technology are enhanced and sustained. This paper explores the key issues in the connectivity of modern automobiles including the various network architecture implementations. In addition, major issues in vehicle security and vulnerability are investigated and proposed counter measures to alleviate their exposure to attacks are reviewed.
