Custom road signs can trick self-driving car vision systems

Original: Self-driving cars, drones hijacked by custom road signs

Researchers have shown that self-driving cars and drones can be hijacked by custom-made road signs that their AI vision systems misread. The attacks exploit how literally machine-learning models interpret visual cues, meaning a subtly altered sign could direct a vehicle to stop, swerve or otherwise misbehave. Commentators say the findings underline serious safety and security questions for autonomous transport and delivery systems.

Why now: New research exposing how easily AI vision in autonomous vehicles can be manipulated has raised safety concerns.
