Securing the human behind the wheel: Western Engineering researchers advance cybersecurity for semi-autonomous vehicles
Today's vehicles can steer, brake and change lanes on their own. But in critical moments, they still rely on a human driver to take control. What happens if a cyberattack doesn't target the vehicle's software but instead exploits the driver's behaviour? That question sits at the heart of a newly funded research project at Western Engineering, where three researchers are working to close a critical gap in the cybersecurity of semi-autonomous vehicles.
