 This paper examines autonomous vehicles, AVS, as a potential solution for smart and sustainable development. It identifies privacy and cybersecurity risks associated with AVS and reviews the measures taken by governments to address them. The authors find that governments have focused on regulating AVS through legislative means, such as setting standards for data protection and security, rather than developing specific policies for AVS. They also note that there has been limited collaboration between government agencies and the private sector to develop cybersecurity measures for AVS. This article was authored by Hazel C.
