Self-Driving Cars Aren’t That Safe with This Exploit

Researchers have found out that it’s relatively easy to throw off an autonomous vehicle’s image recognition system. This is done by strategically using stickers to alter street signs. If an attacker learns how the car classifies incoming objects, they can easily generate a sticker to throw the car’s sensor off. This would make the car think a sign that says “STOP” be interpreted as something else, such as a Speed Limit warning.
