The news: Hackers have manipulated multiple Tesla cars into speeding up by 50 miles per hour. They fooled the car’s camera system by placing a tiny sticker over a speed limit sign on the side of a road in a way that a person driving by would almost never notice. The camera read the sign as 85 instead of 35.
The significance: This demonstration from the cybersecurity firm McAfee is an indication that adversarial machine learning can potentially wreck autonomous driving systems, presenting a security challenge to those hoping to commercialize the technology. Read the full story.
