This is the third in a series of thought leadership reports about autonomous vehicles produced by Gowling WLG on behalf of UK Autodrive.

The manufacturing of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) is on the rise and it is likely that they will become a normal part of our lives in the next few decades. As a growing part of the Internet of Things, CAVs need to be secure from cyber-attacks now and have an in-built resilience to ensure they are future-proofed.

Our white paper, 'Connected and autonomous vehicles: a hacker's delight?' looks at the growing risks of cyber-attacks and discusses how the motor industry and law makers need to react to the increased importance of all-things-cyber while they develop CAVs.

We have produced this white paper on behalf of UK Autodrive, the largest of three UK consortia launched to support the introduction of self-driving vehicles in the UK, with research conducted by BizWorld Ltd.

The white paper also includes opinions and first-hand experiences of our lawyers working with transport sector clients, as well as experts in the transport industry.

'Connected and autonomous vehicles: a hacker's delight?' will provide you with insights on the following issues of CAVs and cyber security:

  • The main problems with CAVS and cyber security
  • Building resilience and future proofing
  • Standards for car manufacturers
