Section 1: Why does this matter?
Section 3: What are the potential IT security risks?
Section 2: How did I use HPCC Systems?
Introduction:
The concept of self-driving vehicles is
one that has fascinated mankind for
generations. It was once a topic thought
to be so farfetched that it could only
exist in a child’s cartoon. Yet, society
now finds itself thoroughly entrenched
in this new reality. M any enterprises
have already taken major strides toward
progressing on this once fanciful idea
w ith a new sense of validity. Racing
closer to that dream, we must pause to
consider the potential risks that we may
be creating for ourselves.
This project focuses on risk analysis
regarding autonomous vehicles using
HPCC Systems’ big data analytics
platform. The central instrument of this
research is a dataset composed of over
700,000 individual data points. These
points represent simulations of the
pertinent information autonomous
vehicles will track and log. The columns
in this dataset are: vehicle ID,
timestamp, x coordinate, y coordinate,
and velocity.
As a secondary focus of this project,
there is an assessment of the potential
cybersecurity risks associated w ith this
topic. Assuming these new vehicles w ill
be connected to the internet and to the
infrastructure in the world around them,
the question is posed: How w ill these
vehicles respond to cyberattacks? Conclusion and Future work

Route 1 Risk Factor: 45 Route 2 Risk Factor: 30
There are currently five recognized
levels of autonomy in vehicles.
The most advanced self driving
vehicles available today are level 2.
Predictions suggest by 2030,
approximately 77% of all vehicles on
the road w ith be either lever 3 or 4.
Instantaneous Traffic Density Map
Enterprise Control Language
(ECL) was used to query the
dataset and form meaningful
conclusions.
This show s an example of the
code used to query the data.
This query returns the number
of occasions a specific vehicle
was “ speeding” during a given
time frame.

Insurers are predicted to
face a decrease of 81% in
overall personal auto losses
by 2050.
This equates to
approximately $165 Billion
lost.

NHTSA multilayered approach to autonomous vehicle cybersecurity:
The average modern vehicle
has over 100 M illion electronic
units.
This creates a vast number of
potentially vulnerable areas.

Conclusion:
It is no longer a matter of if a world with self-driving vehicles is a plausible reality. Experts in both the automotive and insurance industries are already busy
trying to understand how this burgeoning technology w ill impact our world in the not-so-distant future. Those who are the pioneers, understand why it is
critical to get onto the leading edge of this revolution. Autonomous vehicles are not going away. Our society is changing in a drastic way because of this. Not
only w ill these vehicles change our human behavior, they w ill also have lasting financial impacts on our economy, and our standards and expectations for
public safety. It is worth noting that the adoption of this technology is not w ithout its risks. As we move forward, we must take care to use good judgement,
and be thorough in our preparations. With each new technological revolution, we are exposed to new challenges that we have never before faced. As
conscientious and contributing citizens, it is not simply our goal to overcome these challenges, it is our duty and our obligation.

A n A ssessment On Inherent Risk Implications & Cyber-Security Vulnerabilities
1. Prioritized identification process for safety-critical vehicle control systems.
2. Rapid detection and response to vehicle cybersecurity incidents on roads.
3. Architecture and methodologies that build in cyber resiliency.
4. Intelligence and information sharing across the industry.
