Relax. Self-driving cars are smart enough to see past some tricky electrical tape.

A little electrical tape has caused quite the stir.

This week, McAfee security researchers released 18 months worth of research that demonstrates the ease with which a “smart” autonomous vehicle can be tricked into misreading and accelerating past speed limits. The finding that some strategically placed black tape on a speed limit sign could trip up a smart car equipped with Mobileye cameras (used for advanced driving systems) to go 85 mph instead of the 35 mph limit certainly seemed alarming.
