	abstract = {As connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) become integrated into modern transport systems, cybersecurity vulnerabilities pose significant legal and regulatory challenges. This paper examines the consequences of large-scale hacking incidents involving CAVs, where software compromise may lead to accidents, injury, or loss. Current insurance and liability regimes are ill-equipped to address the complexities of mass-risk events triggered by cyberattacks. Drawing from the United Kingdom’s Automated and Electric Vehicles Act 2018 and broader European frameworks, we identify critical gaps in existing legislation. We propose a reformed insurance model that includes a national compensatory body or reinsurance pool to ensure equitable redress for third-party victims. Our findings offer broader insights for regulatory design in the maritime sector, where cybersecurity threats to safety-critical systems demand proactive legal responses.},
