Connected vehicle technology is quickly becoming standard in modern vehicles, and there is no doubt that connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) will continue to improve and develop, and expand their prevalence on public roads. However, before this becomes reality, security and trustworthiness of autonomous vehicles and surrounding infrastructure must be established.

This talk will focus on the UNECE regulations from the WP.29 working party, its requirements for a Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS) as well as other requirements for type approval, and what this means for the future of the automotive industry.
