The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is a constantly changing field, and the fast convergence of automotive technology and connectivity has brought about a new era marked by enormous cybersecurity risks. A crucial component of the inquiry is a thorough examination of the IoV infrastructure's vulnerabilities, which highlights potential sources of compromise and places where strong cybersecurity measures are required for data transformations in cloud-edge computing. Additionally, the Controller Area Network (CAN) and the Electronic Control Units (ECUs) are critical points in automotive networking to connect user data from smart applications to electric vehicles. Therefore, finding a safe automotive data transformation approach for incorporating Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) and investigating particular cybersecurity issues is a critical and key challenge in the IoV ecosystem. To ensure the safe development of the IoV landscape, the research introduces two innovative genetic algorithms, Genetic Algorithm Random Forest (GA-RF) and Genetic Algorithm Ensemble Bagged Trees (GA-EBT), to improve the identification of cyber threats in the IoV context. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid algorithm achieves exceptional performance, attaining a high accuracy rate of 99.92 %, the lowest mean absolute error of 0.0028, and the highest precision, recall, and F1 measures near to 100 %. These results are especially noteworthy on real automotive data transformation datasets. These results highlight the significance of the suggested strategy for defending IoV systems from suspicious threats.
