Abstract

The increasing reliance on autonomous vehicles (AVs) necessitates a robust cybersecurity posture. Human operators play a critical role in ensuring the security of these complex systems. However, traditional cybersecurity training approaches often fail to consider the unique needs and cognitive limitations of human operators in AV operations. This research paper explores human-centered design (HCD) approaches for developing effective cybersecurity training programs for AV personnel.

The paper begins by highlighting the evolving landscape of autonomous vehicles and the growing cybersecurity threats they face. It emphasizes the critical role of human operators in identifying and responding to cyberattacks. Next, the paper explores the limitations of traditional cybersecurity training methods, which often rely on technical jargon and rote memorization. These methods can be ineffective in engaging learners and equipping them with the skills needed to make real-time decisions in complex cybersecurity scenarios.
