Researchers at UC Irvine revealed that multicolored stickers placed on traffic signs can confuse self-driving cars, causing them to misinterpret speed limits and stop commands. This innovative study evaluated the effectiveness of low-cost malicious attacks on traffic sign recognition systems in commercial vehicles. Presented at the Network and Distributed System Security Symposium, the findings emphasize the critical need for enhanced security measures in autonomous vehicles. The vulnerability exposed can result in dangerous driving scenarios including ignoring road commands and triggering unforeseen emergency responses, ultimately impacting public safety as autonomous vehicle usage increases.
