Securing the Road Ahead: The Intersection of Cybersecurity and Intelligent Transportation

The blog highlights the growing convergence of cybersecurity and intelligent transportation, emphasizing that autonomous vehicles and connected infrastructure are becoming "data centers on wheels." It outlines three core risk areas—V2X communication vulnerabilities, AI‑driven sensor attacks, and infrastructure resilience—and presents strategic recommendations such as zero‑trust V2X, sensor hardening, and supply‑chain visibility. The post draws on research from Morgan State’s National Transportation Center and SMARTER Center, positioning academia as a catalyst for securing future mobility. It calls for coordinated action to protect both physical safety and operational continuity in smart cities.
