Self-driving cars and drones fooled by custom road signs
Original: Self-driving cars, drones hijacked by custom road signs
Researchers warn that AI vision systems used in autonomous vehicles and drones can be hijacked by specially crafted road signs, taking instructions far too literally. A sign altered in ways barely noticeable to humans can cause the onboard software to misread the road and act on false information, raising fresh safety and security concerns for self-driving technology.
Why now: New findings about a simple, low-tech way to trick autonomous vehicle vision systems have reignited debate over their safety.
