The sixth edition of our “The ULTIMO Frontier: Let’s Talk Automated Mobility” webinar series has taken place. This time, five international experts delved into the crucial role of cybersecurity and data privacy in the deployment of Automated Vehicles (AVs).
The session was moderated by Dr. Narges Rahimi, Postdoctoral Researcher at the SHIELD Automotive Cybersecurity Centre of Excellence [
Prof. Badis Hammi from Télécom SudParis presented a study on the impact of data poisoning attacks on autonomous driving perception. He explained how manipulating public 3D point cloud datasets can affect AI systems, demonstrating that data augmentation techniques do not always sanitize this malicious information [
Prof. Christian Arbinger, CEO of DiMos, explored resilience in space-based positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) systems. Arbinger highlighted the need to elevate the integrity of satellite signals against threats such as jamming or spoofing to ensure safe automated driving [
Dr. Takahito Yoshizawa from KU Leuven provided technical insights into security and privacy gaps in V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication standards. In his intervention, he pointed out vulnerabilities such as the lack of encryption in basic messages and the future risks posed by the migration to post-quantum cryptography [
Finally, Prof. Anastasija Collen (HES-SO) and Dr. Meriem Benyayha (Mohammed VI Polytechnic University) presented the TARA 2.0 methodology. Developed within the ULTIMO project, this evolution of traditional risk analysis better integrates privacy and is specifically adapted to high levels of automation (L4/L5), allowing for more visual and granular risk management [
