Strategic investment(s) in vehicle automation technologies led to the rapid development of technology that revolutionalised transport services and reduced fatalities on a scale never seen before.Technological advancements and their integration in Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) increased uptake and adoption and pushed strongly for the development of highly supportive legal and regulatory and testing environments. However, systemic threats to the security and privacy of technologies and lack of data transparency have created a dynamic threat landscape within which the establishment and verification of security and privacy requirements proved to be an arduous task .In CAV,security and privacy issues can affect the overall resilience of these systems and hinder the safety of the passengers. Existing research efforts have been placed to investigate the security issues in CAVs and propose solutions across the whole spectrum of cyber resilience. This paper examines the state-of-the-art security and privacy solutions for CAV and investigates their integration challenges, drawbacks and efficiencies by coupling them with distributed technologies such as Blockchain. This survey paper has highlighted the strengths and drawbacks of the security and privacy measures proposed in the published literature based on Blockchain technology. It has also listed different cyber attacks being investigated while designing security and privacy mechanism for CAVs.
