Phantom images trick autonomous cars into braking

In a new research paper, Phantom of the ADAS, published on IACR.org, the researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev’s (BGU) Cyber Security Research Centre demonstrated that autopilots and advanced driving-assistance systems (ADASs) in semi-autonomous or fully autonomous cars register depthless projections of objects (phantoms) as real objects. They show how attackers can exploit this to manipulate the vehicle and potentially harm the driver or passengers without any special expertise by using a commercial drone and inexpensive image projector.
