Abstract: With the continuously increasing demand for new technologies, many concepts have emerged in recent decades and the Internet of Things is one of the most popular. IoT is revolutionizing several aspects of human life with a large range of applications including the transportation sector. Based on IoT technologies and Artificial Intelligence, new-generation vehicles are being developed with autonomous or self-driving capabilities to handle transportation in future smart cities. Regarding human-based errors such as accidents, traffic congestion, and disruptions, autonomous vehicles are presented as an alternative solution to increase traffic safety, efficiency, and mobility. However, by transferring from a human-based to a computer-based driving style, the transportation area is inheriting existing cyber-security challenges. Due to their connectivity and data-driven decision-making, the security of autonomous vehicles is a high-level concern since it involves human safety in addition to economic losses. In this paper, a comprehensive review is conducted to discuss the security threats and existing solutions for autonomous vehicles. In addition to that, the open security challenges are discussed for further investigations toward trusted and widespread deployment of autonomous vehicles.

Keywords: Internet of Things; smart transportation; autonomous vehicles; cybersecurity
