PhD ceremony Bashar Fteiha: Autonomous vehicles and cyber-terrorism
While Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) promise to bring many benefits to society, this does not rule out the possibility of new and more serious accidents as these vehicles become widely available.
AVs can be the target of sophisticated and complex terrorist cyberattacks, which have the capacity to cause substantial harm to society as a whole. Understanding the cybersecurity of AVs requires more than a technical perspective; it necessitates an incentive-oriented approach.
Bashar Fteiha uses a Law and Economics approach to analyze how ex-post liability rules and ex-ante safety regulations can be designed to create incentives that align stakeholder interests with the public goal of robust cybersecurity, ensuring effective cybersecurity measures are implemented.
