As far as the current situation is concerned, from the perspective of autonomous driving, Tesla has already taken the lead, so what about Tesla's autonomous driving safety? Although Tesla's autopilot has had collision problems, Tesla's response to hacking attacks based on network technology should be good. After all, their rocket can go to heaven, but the implementation is unexpected.
An overseas college student recently published a report and pointed out this defect of Tesla in a research paper entitled "Phantom of ADAS: Phantom Attack of Driver Assistance System". It is pointed out that in one test, they found that the two-dimensional images of people projected on the road caused Tesla Model X to slow down. Similarly, projecting false lane signs on the ground will make Model X temporarily ignore the physical lane lines of the road. In other words, Tesla's autopilot system cannot identify the true and false conditions of the road. If the autopilot system is hacked, the vehicle can be firmly controlled. It feels dangerous.
Some people may say that we can directly intervene through manual driving, but hacking will naturally take this into account. Will cars now controlled by networks and computers refuse to be driven manually because of hacker attacks? Many experts believe that this can be done completely. Therefore, from the current situation, the security faced by autonomous driving technology lies not only in conventional security such as collision, but also in future cyber attacks. After all, with the development of science and technology, the improvement of safety system should also keep up, so as to face the future automobile safety.
Generally speaking, everyone supports the research of driverless technology, but for the sake of safety, our driverless technology should be fully upgraded. What is the basis of automatic braking, how to build a special firewall for unmanned driving and how to improve network security are the development priorities of unmanned driving safety in the future.
