Almost everything can be applied to anything when you scale up.

Comment on Fooling a self-driving car with mirrors on traffic cones

While There’s a lot of room for improvement, I’d argue that many people would be fooled too. Depending on the mirror’s size, placement and angle.

I’d be fooled, too, at first - and suspicious (who’s fucking around with mirrors on the road?) - but I’d probably figure it out after a second.
My main concern is people could use these kinds of exploits to “jailbreak” robo-cars (or whatever we’re calling them) to behave in dangerous ways in real traffic.

Oh okay, I have not factored in the idiots 😒

We must, unfortunately, factor in the idiots. They’re quite pervasive.

That’d need a new driving-license. With stricter checks. Not if applicants could memorize basic stuff but their emotional and intellectual maturity.

Yeah there’s always someone. Now that the door is open for these stunts we’ll see them in real life, including ones that full humans. It is critical to figure these out before we rely on the technology, because people are assholes.
I’ve been saying for years that traffic will get much worse when we get to mostly self-driving cars. Many of the holdouts will decide they can act dangerously on the road because the self driving cars will get out of their way.
