Autonomous Vehicles an overview on system, cyber security, risks,
  issues, and a way forward
Md Aminul Islam Sarah Alqahtani
This chapter explores the complex realm of autonomous cars, analyzing their
fundamental components and operational characteristics. The initial phase of
the discussion is elucidating the internal mechanics of these automobiles,
encompassing the crucial involvement of sensors, artificial intelligence (AI)
identification systems, control mechanisms, and their integration with
cloud-based servers within the framework of the Internet of Things (IoT). It
delves into practical implementations of autonomous cars, emphasizing their
utilization in forecasting traffic patterns and transforming the dynamics of
transportation. The text also explores the topic of Robotic Process Automation
(RPA), illustrating the impact of autonomous cars on different businesses
through the automation of tasks. The primary focus of this investigation lies
in the realm of cybersecurity, specifically in the context of autonomous
vehicles. A comprehensive analysis will be conducted to explore various risk
management solutions aimed at protecting these vehicles from potential threats
including ethical, environmental, legal, professional, and social dimensions,
offering a comprehensive perspective on their societal implications. A
strategic plan for addressing the challenges and proposing strategies for
effectively traversing the complex terrain of autonomous car systems,
cybersecurity, hazards, and other concerns are some resources for acquiring an
understanding of the intricate realm of autonomous cars and their ramifications
in contemporary society, supported by a comprehensive compilation of resources
for additional investigation.
