Ongoing Cybersecurity and Safety Standardization Activities Related to Highly Automated/Autonomous Vehicles

Abstract

Highly automated/autonomous vehicles using extended features like Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) or Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I), cognitive systems for decision taking, needing extensive perception features and sophisticated sensor functions, cause a considerable shift in safety and cybersecurity (trustworthiness) coengineering and assurance. To achieve trust of the public/users, standards and certification/qualification are challenged, not comparable to conventional "singular vehicle only" issues. The paper highlights the necessary evolution in the automotive and related standardization landscape, including ethics guidelines and recent activities, and the consequences from upcoming UNECE (United Nations Economic Comission for Europe) regulations. An Overview on ongoing work in large European ECSEL projects, SECREDAS and AutoDrive, including standardization, is provided.
