   A fleet of autonomous delivery vehicles relies on a cloud-based traffic management service to receive real-time route updates. During a cyberattack, the service is flooded with false traffic congestion data, causing the vehicles to reroute onto a closed bridge. What is the most critical safety risk?

   • AThe cloud service will incur higher bandwidth costs from the attack.
   • BVehicles could drive off the closed bridge, leading to physical accidents and potential loss of life.
   • CThe delivery packages could be stolen during the unexpected detour.
   • DThe vehicles' batteries will drain faster due to the longer rerouted paths.
