"The auto industry is on an accelerating change curve. For hundreds of years, the horse was the prime mover of humans and for the past 120 years it has been the automobile. Now we are approaching the end of the line for the automobile because travel will be in standardized modules. The end state will be the fully autonomous module with no capability for the driver to exercise command. You will call for it, it will arrive at your location, you'll get in, input your destination and go to the freeway." - Bob Lutz

Researchers Find a Malicious Way to Meddle with Autonomous Cars
Researchers Find a Malicious Way to Meddle with Autonomous Cars
In one example, explained in a document uploaded to the open-source scientific-paper site arXiv last week, small stickers attached to a standard stop sign caused a vision system to misidentify it as a Speed Limit 45 sign...
The algorithms created by Kohno and colleagues at the University of Michigan, Stony Brook University, and the University of California are designed to be printed on a normal color printer and stuck to existing road signs. One attack prints a full-size road sign to be overlaid on an existing sign. In this example, the team was able to create a stop sign that just looks splotchy or faded to human eyes but that was consistently classified by a computer vision system as a Speed Limit 45 sign.
A second exploit used small, rectangular black-and-white stickers that, when attached to another stop sign, also caused the computer to see it as a Speed Limit 45 sign...
If a future self-driving vehicle could be tricked into responding incorrectly to a sign, it could be made to blow through a stop sign or slam on its brakes in the fast lane.

Not happening. Anytime soon.

Semis are taking to Texas roads — with no one behind the wheel

State legislatures are hard at work crafting new laws, giving giant corporations almost complete in total immunity to giant corporations wanting to use these autonomous vehicles. While we’re not paying attention, they’re giving our way or rights.
In my own state, our Democrat governor, who promised never to let this happen, signed a law, letting it happen. The first chance they got when one of these corporations slashed some money in front of their face.

No automation will happen all at once. It will be easy cases like a giant feeder lot in El Paso to another giant feeder lot in Phoenix and the roads in between are almost like a rail service 360 days a year when the sun is shining. Until you see those running regularly, all the other use cases like meandering through city boulevards will be human drivers because those things are still "too hard".

2025. There's some scary asThis thread reminded me of a hilarious story I had saved on my computer from a long time ago. Author, I have no Idea.
----------------------
It's the year 2025. I get up to go to work and grab the keys to my vintage 1995 Honda Civic. As I start the car, alarms suddenly start ringing.
"MANUAL CAR ALERT! MANUAL CAR ALERT!"
Self-driving Google cars cruising past my driveway suddenly stop and transform into gender neutral Police Bots.
"STOP RIGHT THERE, CIS SCUM! DRIVING NON-SELF-DRIVING CARS IS ILLEGAL"
I slam my shifter into reverse and shoot out of there faster than Elliot Rodger at a social gathering. The Police Bots transform back into self-driving Google cars and begin chasing me. As I approach 90km/h, the Google cars fall far behind as they can only go up to 40km/h. Just when I think I'm in the clear, suddenly my engine stops running. My speakers exclaim:
"You seem to have Police pursuing this vehicle. Shutting down."
, I forgot about the computer chip that every manual car had to have installed into it by Google. Out of nowhere a Google self-driving car smashes into me because they are not programmed to calculate every scenario. Disoriented with mild whiplash, I see Police Bots speeding my way. I close my eyes and take a deep sigh. This is how I'm going to die. I light up my last cigarette. The Police Bots have me surrounded.
"YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING A VEHICLE AND SMOKING NICOTINE. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REM--"
Suddenly, a 1976 Pontiac Trans Am rams through the Police Bots. The smoke clears and the stranger winds his wind down. It's Burt Reynolds!
"You might want to get in here, kid."
I get in the car and we drive into the desert where Burt tells me that a resistance group is forming. This is my home now.
accuracies in this.

I admire the pettiness of digging back through 8 years of posts to try and stick it to me though.

It has started this week.
Sigh.
Newsflash. People will want to drive themselves, family, and friends as they see fit, in their own vehicle. This won't change.
Nothing to see here folks....move on.
Why do people seem to have a lapse of sense when it comes to...people need to work, factories need to remain operational, etc.
This won't become a land of Minions and one leader...lol.
