2020-02-19 | Hackers trick Tesla into accelerating 50 mph using 2-inch tape strip - Business Insider

'The McAfee researchers Steve Povolny and Shivangee Trivedi stuck 2 inches of black tape on a 35-mph speed sign, slightly elongating the middle line in the "3."'

'Two security researchers managed to trick two Teslas into accelerating well past the speed limit by fooling their camera systems into misreading a speed sign. ', "The safety of Tesla's autopilot systems is under close scrutiny."

'As the car approached the altered sign it misread it as 85 mph — and started to accelerate by 50 mph. '

'Last year the tech billionaire claimed the company would have a "feature-complete full self-driving" vehicle by the end of 2019. '

It doesn't cross-reference GPS information? My little garmin can do this.

Are you fucking serious? They programmed these to read the signs but not also take the traffic/GPS info?? A $50 device can tell me the speed limit of the road I'm on. What the fuck? Please tell me I'm missing something here...

The older teslas have some kind of camera to read signs that can't be disabled.

Exactly why I will not be a beta tester for quite some time.

Why the fuck does a speed-hold mode even need cameras or GPS? What the fuck is wrong with "See the speed I'm doing RIGHT NOW? Keep it at that"?

Wait, so Tesla's can actually read the text on signage? That's actually pretty cool.

It can also recognize your face and record everywhere it drives and it can track the life of it's owner. Definitely not creepy features designed by pedophiles.

Or makes sure that your assassin knows their locked on target from start to the sudden sharp stop.

It's not special. A Honda Accord and many other cars can do the same thing.

Wouldn't it check its database and also noticee that all the other traffic wasn't doing near that speed?

Why do we allow a literal copy and paste, of both the title and link from Reddit??

The problem with machine learning is that you can't audit it to 100%, one day the neural net of your fagmobille might decide that a butterfly flying in front of your car is a brick wall and a semi parked on the roadside is an open road with no speed limit, and you are going to the fucking moon.
