Driverless cars can be tricked into seeing red traffic lights as green

Driverless cars could be tricked into interpreting a red traffic light as green, leaving them vulnerable to attacker-instigated crashes. The legislation around autonomous vehicles varies worldwide. Although fully driverless cars aren't yet on the roads, with such vehicles in development, concerns have been raised that they may be more vulnerable to vandalism and hence robust regulation is needed to protect against this.
