Beware! Research Reveals Vulnerabilities in Autonomous Vehicle AI Systems with Risks of Malicious Attacks
The AI systems relied upon by autonomous vehicles play a critical role in decision-making, environmental perception, and predictive modeling. However, research from the University at Buffalo has unveiled the risks of these systems potentially being subjected to attacks. The study indicates that while current research is conducted in controlled environments, the discovered vulnerabilities in AI models related to radar detection could have far-reaching implications for the industry. 'Brick masks' made with 3D printing and metal foils can make vehicles 'disappear' in radar detection and potentially interfere with pedestrian detection. The motivations behind such attack methods include insurance fraud, competition, or malicious harm.

Uber Partners with AI Company Wayve to Develop Autonomous Vehicles
The globally renowned ride-hailing platform Uber has announced a collaboration with the UK-based artificial intelligence company Wayve to jointly develop vehicles equipped with Level 4 autonomous driving capabilities, with plans for deployment in multiple markets worldwide. This partnership serves as a strategic investment by Uber to supplement Wayve's Series C funding, as its technology will be integrated into Uber's autonomous vehicle fleet, accelerating collaborations with global automotive manufacturers. Wayve's Embodied AI technology enables vehicles to operate outside pre-mapped areas within geofenced regions and has launched the largest initiative in Europe in London.
