Are driverless vehicles ripe for the hacking? Autonomous and unmannedsystems are already patrolling our skies and oceans and being tested onour streets and highways. Pioneering tests of autonomous vehicles wereperformed in Europe and all trends indicate these systems are at aninflection point that will show them rapidly becoming commonplace. It istherefore a salient time for a discussion of the capabilities andpotential vulnerabilities of these systems.This session will be an informative and amusing look at the currentstate of civil driverless vehicles and what hackers or other miscreantsmight do to mess with them. Topics covered will include common sensors,decision profiles and their potential failure modes that could beexploited. With this talk Zoz aims to both inspire unmanned vehicle fansto think about robustness to adversarial and malicious scenarios, and togive the paranoid false hope of resisting the robot revolution. The talkwill also contain brand new information from conversations with the USDepartment of Transportation including insights into the new ConnectedVehicle and Vehicle To Vehicle Communications programs that may behacking-relevant well before the adoption of fully autonomous cars andother vehicles.
