Fake images can fool autonomous cars, posing risks, Israeli researchers warn
Autonomous vehicles can be fooled by “phantom” images displayed on a road, wall or sign, causing them to unexpectedly brake or veer off course and making them vulnerable to attackers, Israeli researchers said.
Semi- and fully-autonomous cars perceive and respond to two-dimensional projections as real objects, according to researchers from the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. Read More
