• Abstract: Graphics processing units (GPUs) power many intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and automated driving applications, but remain largely unmonitored for safety and security. This article highlights GPU misuse as a critical blind spot, showing how unmanaged GPU workloads silently degrade real-time performance, demonstrating the need for stronger security measures in ITS.
