Lasers are used in the Lidar system that is used in car driving cars to identify objects including cyclists, buildings and other cars. However, lasers can also be used to deceive the autonomous car system to see things that are not really there resulting in it to make poor driving decisions.
Lidar system is normally installed on top of the car that turns in all directions when the car moves and uses lasers to form a kind of radar that indicates the car's surrounding situation.
according to a paper presented at Black Hat Europe by Jonathan Little, a researcher at security innovation, a strong cyber security, self vehicle laser pointer will not do to stop, however, construction a laser system with off-the-shelf parts with a value of $ 60 will operate at the wheel.
Petit said he could usurp thousands of objects and essentially conducted a denial-of-service attack on the monitoring system so that it was not able to follow the real object . He tested a version of the Lidar system that is available on the market. He also argued that this type of vulnerability should be a wake up call for manufacturers of self driving cars.
Security flaws seems to be a hot topic in the United States as researchers found ways to hack into cars and take control of their system, which in the end could result in major recalls by major automakers. An example of this is that Fiat Chrysler recalled about 8,000 vehicles because of concerns that the console of his media prone to wireless hackers.
