Many of these technologies are already being used in commercial vehicles such as long-haul trucks and delivery vans, agricultural vehicles and industrial equipment.

The data security problem for autonomous vehicles extends beyond communications.

Manufacturers and fleet operators will also need to think about which data they need to store and for how long, what data will be exclusive and proprietary to the vehicle vs. the fleet, and how personal data will be handled.

Data collected by vehicles during normal operation could be proprietary or, in the case of passenger vehicles, covered by emerging laws that regulate data privacy.

While much of the focus when it comes to solving the autonomous vehicle challenge has been on advancements in sensors, AI, machine learning, and so on, network and data security will also be a significant and necessary part of any eventual solution.
