Laser attack can ‘blind’ self-driving cars, new study says

Recently, researchers from the University of Florida, the University of Michigan, and the University of Denki Communication in Japan discovered a security flaw. Researchers have found that lasers can blind self-driving cars, see moving pedestrians and other obstacles, and assume the road is safe to continue driving.

To this end, scientists demonstrated the use of this method to attack moving unmanned vehicles and robots, with the attack equipment placed about 4 to 5 meters from the roadside. In the demonstration, the scientists were able to use the attack device to cause the lidar to ignore static obstacles and moving people while the vehicle continued to accelerate, and the test also demonstrated that an attacker could track a slow-moving vehicle using basic camera tracking techniques. Scientists say they have demonstrated that previous defense strategies were not sufficiently secure, and that manufacturers have a responsibility to build a more reliable system, such as adding obvious features of deceptive reflexes through software updates.
