THE INSTITUTE Autonomous vehicles are becoming smarter because they are being powered by computerization and artificial intelligence. They eventually will be able to communicate with each other and the infrastructure, maneuver flexibly while sensing their surroundings, and allow drivers to go from being operators to passengers.

The rise of autonomous vehicles also brings about risks and vulnerabilities, however. Can smart cars be trusted? How can the cybersecurity of connected cars be ensured?

Two free, on-demand webinars from the IEEE Standards Association bring together industry leaders to discuss the challenges facing autonomous vehicles and ways to use the technology safely and reliably.

Standards for Trustworthy Autonomous Vehicles To be widely accepted and adopted, autonomous vehicles have to be safe, secure, reliable, resilient, and more. Key industry leaders share their ideas and present recent research results. They also address industrial challenges, risks, and vulnerabilities. Attendees get to learn how related technical standards activities can help shape markets and facilitate the commercialization of new technologies.

Cyber-Secured Autonomous Vehicles Experts in the field address security vulnerabilities and risks throughout the lifetime of an autonomous vehicle. Different viewpoints, initiatives, and priorities from Asia, Europe, and the United States are covered. A panel discussion with the speakers organized as a Q&A session identifies the commonalities and differences of approaches and solutions. To access this webinar, you'll first need to complete a registration form.
