Driver-assistance systems are now installed in nearly all modern cars. As a result, safety depends on whether computer systems can reliably process sensor data. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are therefore investigating how these systems can be specifically manipulated—with the goal of better protecting vehicles from such attacks in the future. Even a film discreetly placed over the sensors can cause serious accidents.
Autonomous vehicles can still see lanes through tampered sensors—but in the wrong place
