The integration of advanced technologies into modern vehicles has significantly transformed the automotive industry, delivering notable improvements in safety, efficiency, and user convenience. However, this technological advancement has also increased vehicles' exposure to cybersecurity threats, raising serious concerns about the integrity, safety, and privacy of automotive systems. This paper seeks to examine the complex and evolving landscape of automotive cybersecurity, addressing both the inherent challenges and the emerging opportunities it presents for researchers, manufacturers, and policymakers. This review also explores ethical, regulatory, and standardization aspects, identifying key directions for future research and the development of resilient vehicle systems.
