Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority Unveils New Framework for Autonomous Heavy Vehicles The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai has recently approved a groundbreaking regulatory framework aimed at overseeing the operation of autonomous heavy vehicles specifically designed for logistics transport. This initiative marks a significant stride towards enhancing the logistics sector within the Emirate […] https://lnkd.in/d-KzbH93 Cyber Warriors Middle East #CyberWarriorsMiddleEast #CyberWarriorsConclave #CWME #CWC #Cybersecurity #CyberThreats #MitigatingCyberAttacks #MiddleEast #UAE #Dubai

Series 20 – Autonomous Vehicles in Disaster Response 🚐 Self-Driving Aid Convoys – Autonomous vehicles could deliver relief supplies or evacuate people along pre-mapped safe routes during disasters, without risking human drivers. SRIE frameworks must address connectivity, cybersecurity, and ethical route prioritization. How soon could this become a reliable tool in emergency planning? How important or viable do you think this could be in times of disasters?

📣 Call for Papers – Safety and Security in AI-Driven ADAS Systems for Autonomous and Connected Vehicles 📘 SAE International Journal of Connected and Automated Vehicles 📅 Submission Deadline: December 31, 2025 This focus issue aims to provide a platform for researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to present advancements addressing the dual challenges of safety and security in AI-driven systems, fostering a safer and more reliable future for autonomous mobility. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) has transformed the automotive industry, paving the way for intelligent and autonomous mobility. However, this innovation also presents critical challenges related to the safety and security of these systems. As the transition to connected and autonomous vehicles (CV/AV) accelerates, it is crucial to address issues such as accidents, cyber threats, and system reliability to build public trust and ensure successful deployment. https://lnkd.in/eYAh5JtY

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has received reports of 58 safety violations linked to Tesla vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving (FSD). These incidents include over a dozen crashes and fires, resulting in 23 injuries, according to the agency. Reported traffic violations involve vehicles operating with FSD driving through red traffic signals and making lane changes into oncoming traffic. Modern cars can contain up to 100 million lines of code. Managing such a safety-critical system with the complexity of software lifecycle management is a completely different challenge compared to traditional, predominantly hardware-based systems. Adding the cybersecurity risks tied to vehicle connectivity further complicates the situation. This requires a set of competencies that many traditional organizations have yet to fully master. The rising number of software-related recalls and identified cybersecurity vulnerabilities clearly demonstrates this gap Focus on maturity management and be #ResiliAnt #auto #Tesla #SafetyConcerns #SDV #RiskManagement #Cybersecurity https://lnkd.in/g28bhCGa

Attacks and defenses for robotic autonomous vehicles: slides and workshop tools for a virtual playground. 🛩️🚗🤖 🎮💡 Academic researchers Pritam Dash and Karthik Pattabiraman from the University of British Columbia presented earlier this year their overview of the cybersecurity landscape of RAVs (Robotic Autonomous Vehicles) - from drones to robots to autonomous vehicles. The presentation also included a hands-on component, where participants were invited to download a virtual environment (a VirtualBox VM), run a simulated RAV, and try different attacks on it. Very interesting! At the time of writing this article, the VirtualBox VM is not available, but the framework with various attacks can be downloaded (see the GitHub links in the workshop materials below). A creative and very fresh idea for a presentation! Enjoy the slides, and please share :) More details: Crash, Fail-safe, or Recover: Securing Robotic Autonomous Vehicles [PDF]: https://lnkd.in/d8Xhxq7B Workshop materials [Google Drive]: https://lnkd.in/dRxsCdiM #automotive #autonomous #drone #robotaxi #mobility #robotic #attack #risk #cybersecurity #tech #infosec #money #future #automation
