As the deployment of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) gains momentum, ensuring both security and accountability becomes paramount. This paper proposes a comprehensive approach to address these concerns. With the increasing importance of speaker identification, our first contribution lies in implementing a robust mechanism for identifying authorized users within AVs, enhancing security. To counter the threat of voice spoofing, an ensemble-based approach leveraging speaker verification techniques is presented, ensuring the authenticity of user commands. Furthermore, in scenarios of accidents involving AVs, the need for accurate accountability and liability allocation arises. To address this, we introduce a novel application of blockchain technology, enabling an event recording system that ensures transparent and tamper-proof records. The proposed system enhances AV security and establishes a framework for reliable accident investigation using speakers’ records. In addition, this paper presents an innovative concept where vehicles act as impartial judges during accidents, utilizing location-based identification. Results show the viability of the proposed solution for accident investigation and analysis.

Autonomous vehicles (AVs), defined as vehicles capable of navigation and decision-making independent of human intervention, represent a revolutionary advancement in transportation technology. These vehicles operate by synthesizing an array of sophisticated technologies, including sensors, cameras, GPS, radar, light imaging detection and ranging (LiDAR), and advanced computing systems. These components work in concert to accurately perceive the vehicle’s environment, ensuring the capacity to make optimal decisions in real-time. At the heart of AV functionality lies the ability to facilitate intercommunication between vehicles and with critical road infrastructure—a characteristic that, while central to their efficacy, also renders them susceptible to cyber threats. The potential infiltration of these communication channels poses a severe threat, enabling the possibility of personal information theft or the introduction of malicious software that could compromise vehicle safety. This paper offers a comprehensive exploration of the current state of AV technology, particularly examining the intersection of autonomous vehicles and emotional intelligence. We delve into an extensive analysis of recent research on safety lapses and security vulnerabilities in autonomous vehicles, placing specific emphasis on the different types of cyber attacks to which they are susceptible. We further explore the various security solutions that have been proposed and implemented to address these threats. The discussion not only provides an overview of the existing challenges but also presents a pathway toward future research directions. This includes potential advancements in the AV field, the continued refinement of safety measures, and the development of more robust, resilient security mechanisms. Ultimately, this paper seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of the safety and security landscape of autonomous vehicles, fostering discourse on the intricate balance between technological advancement and security in this rapidly evolving field.
