Hackers trick Tesla Autopilot into veering into oncoming lane

Researchers at Tencent's Keen Security Lab demonstrated that stickers placed on a road could trick a Tesla Model S's Autopilot system into veering into the oncoming traffic lane. The attack exploited the system's reliance on camera-based computer vision to recognise lanes. Tesla responded that this vulnerability was unrealistic because a driver can easily override Autopilot, while saying a separate steering-wheel hijack had been fixed in a software update.

Researchers demonstrate drone attack on Renault Captur ADAS with fake road signs

Security researchers from Ben Gurion University demonstrated a vulnerability in the Mobileye ADAS system used in a Renault Captur. They used drones to project fake road signs for 100 milliseconds, too quick for human perception but detectable by the system. The attack could trick the car into making unsafe maneuvers, though the system is only Level 0 (advisory). The researchers published their findings in a paper titled 'MobilBye: Attacking ADAS with Camera Spoofing'.

NHTSA investigates Tesla Autopilot over 11 crashes with first responder vehicles

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened an investigation into Tesla's Autopilot system after identifying 11 crashes in which Tesla vehicles collided with first responder vehicles. In each incident, the vehicles were confirmed to have Autopilot or Traffic-Aware Cruise Control engaged. Most crashes occurred after dark and involved scene control measures such as lights, flares, and road cones. NHTSA will assess the system's ability to monitor driver engagement and handle emergency scenes.

Researchers remotely hack Tesla Model S via multiple vulnerabilities

Tencent Keen Security Lab discovered multiple security vulnerabilities in Tesla Model S cars, allowing them to remotely control the vehicle while parked and driving without physical contact. The researchers used an unmodified car with the latest firmware to demonstrate the attack, which is the first known case of remote compromise of the CAN bus to control a Tesla. The vulnerabilities were reported to and confirmed by Tesla's product security team, and Tesla has taken action to fix the issues. Tesla urged owners to update their firmware to the latest version.

Edinburgh Airport AI trial gives passengers different parking prices

Edinburgh Airport admitted it was trialling an AI system that randomly set higher or lower parking prices for online bookers, with customers receiving different quotes for the same service. The Scottish Passenger Agents Association called for the trial to be conducted in controlled 'lab' conditions rather than on the public. The airport said the AI's pricing closely matched staff-set prices and the findings would evaluate whether to adopt the system.
