Security researchers have developed a way to trick Tesla's self-driving technology into driving into the oncoming traffic lane. All it took was a few inconspicuous stickers on the ground to fool Autopilot on a Model S sedan, before the vehicle's onboard computers mistakenly steered into the opposite lane, where oncoming traffic was traveling. The report, published by Chinese tech giant Tencent's Keen Security Lab, also details adversarial attacks on a Tesla's automatic windshield wipers and steering wheel. Researchers have developed a way to trick Tesla's self-driving technology. Tesla introduced Autopilot in 2014.
