A Duke Professor Says China Could Disable Self-Driving Cars Across America. Nvidia Is Using the Sensors Anyway.

Duke University professor Miroslav Pajic recently demonstrated how brittle the sensors underneath America’s self-driving fleet are. In one attack, malware embedded in a lidar unit conjured a person in the sensor’s point cloud who was not physically present. In a second, a real physical obstacle was made to vanish entirely from the sensor output. Pajic ... A Duke Professor Says China Could Disable Self-Driving Cars Across America. Nvidia Is Using…
