Abstract: Modern vehicles are now part of a complex digital ecosystem, leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud computing for enhanced safety, efficiency, and user experience. However, this digital integration has introduced significant cy-bersecurity challenges, including data protection, unauthorized access prevention, and user privacy. As vehicles become more vulnerable to cyber-attacks, the industry must implement robust cybersecurity measures. Regulations like the UN’s UNR155 and UNR156 establish stringent cybersecurity requirements, demanding comprehensive manage-ment systems, regular updates, and continuous testing to counter evolving threats. These regulations under score the importance of cybersecurity in automotive safety. Future automotive cybersecurity will depend on developing advanced protections and collaboration among manufacturers,policymakers, and cybersecurity experts to ensure innovation and security in an interconnected digital world.
