Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) are a collection of smart components such as sensors, Lidars, Electronic Control Units (ECUs), and cameras programmed through voluminous lines of code. There is growing interest in CAVs in global markets, as they hold the potential to create a more sustainable future. They are generating increased revenues and experiencing significant market penetration, thereby enabling disruptive innovations in the automotive industry. With the booming technological sophistication of today's vehicles as well as their hyper-connectivity, cybersecurity becomes more critical than ever. In this seminar, we will focus on recent technological advancements and developments in CAVs. Moreover, we will explore cybersecurity issues and challenges that could exacerbate the risks of data breaches and cyberattacks in CAVs. Lastly, we will highlight some emerging cybersecurity trends in CAVs along with future research directions.
