Burgeoning technological advancements have led to a quest for efficiency and haste in almost every area. This includes advanced technologies in transportation. Among such technologies are driverless cars that pose as perfect models for promising technology engines. These cars have received much attention and appreciation from high-tech companies. Studies have shown that they are statistically much safer than traditional vehicles; however, many issues remain which must be corrected to make the driverless car even more safe and reliable. For example, cyber-attacks on driverless cars are a major safety concern. Like any new technology, innovations of autonomous and unmanned vehicles have led to the emergence of threats of cyber-attacks. Hackers see multiple attack surfaces and believe they can penetrate any targeted vehicle system, steal an owner’s personal identity information and compromise the vehicles security. Therefore, driverless car industries must put into place an efficient cybersecurity framework which will effectively counter cyber-attacks on driverless cars. In this study, we propose implementing a cybersecurity policy framework that examines potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities against driverless car systems. Threats and attacks exploiting these vulnerabilities are then identified and analyzed. This study investigates current status quo policy, policy objectives, the role of technology, and mitigation strategies for cybersecurity to be used in the development of driverless car systems. Cybersecurity systems are proposed and discussed in the final section.
