autonomous vehicles must be controlled in a professional manner with the help of the system
dynamic model. It was also found that there are lots of liability regimes for most of the
autonomous vehicles. The environment aspect of the autonomous vehicles can also be found
from the previous assignments as well. The importance of the market strategies which are
required for the promotion of the automated vehicles can be presented in the paper as well. It
can also be said that transportation plans can be very much important to deal with the
complexities of autonomous vehicles. The future opportunities of the AV technology in the
autonomous vehicle can be very much useful for the consumers of this industry. It can also be
said that there are lots of security issues associated with the use of automated technologies in
autonomous cars. The importance of saving fuel can also be understood from the previous

there are numerous security issues associated with the AV. The next unit of the paper will be
presenting the critical analysis of the paper.
Critical thinking
Even though the specifications provided by the AV may seem to be very much
beneficial for their consumers of the automobile industry, there are lots of security and
privacy issues associated with autonomous vehicles. The most significant limitation of the
autonomous vehicle which was not discussed in the previous sections of the paper is the
complexity faced by the vehicle when they try to cross a bridge. Adverse environmental
conditions can also have lasting impact on the AV’s which none of the researchers focussed
on. The annotated bibliography which was discussed on the previous assignments has not
highlighted the realistic issue of AV in terms of the roads without clear lane markings. There
are lots of complexities in the high speed driving situations which were not discussed by any
of the researchers whose statements were considered in the previous sections of the paper.
Glitches of the incorporated technologies are the other significant limitations of the driverless
cars which were also not highlighted in the previous sections of the paper. The interaction
with the investigative departments in case of an accident was not discussed in the paper as
well.
Opinions
The use of the autonomous vehicles should be done with proper plan, at the same time
it can also be said that the welfare of the consumers of the autonomous industry has to be
kept in the first place in order to deal with the above discussed complexities of AV. It can be
said that the cost issues of the autonomous vehicle must be resolved with the help of the
financial management plan. The application of the IT governance plan can be very much

beneficial for the consumers of this industry to deal with the cyber security threats of the
driverless cars as they are usually connected to a private and insecure network.
Reflection
According to me, there are lots of ethical and privacy issues associated with the use of
the autonomous vehicle which is needed to be sorted by the strategic team of the global
manufacturing organizations. The productivity and efficiency of the automobile industry can
be understood in the first place with the help of the project governance plan considering all
the significant issues which the consumers of this industry are facing over the years.
Conclusion
The report helps in concluding the different types of security issues associated with
the use of autonomous vehicles in our society. The relationship between the technology,
business model, market and autonomous cars can be obtained from the paper as well. The
paper also helps in understanding the importance of the business models and the
transportation plan which can help to bring out the best performance from the autonomous
vehicles. The paper also identified the environmental aspects of autonomous cars. The
