- Petit argues that it is never too early to start thinking about security. “There are ways to solve it,” he says. “A strong system that does misbehavior detection could cross-check with other data and filter out those that aren’t plausible. But I don’t think carmakers have done it yet. This might be a good wake-up call for them.”
From the original source. What made him think automakers / tech companies aren't crosschecking already? Besides...
The discussions around the limits of the technology that I think are much more interesting are
a) how will people respond to autonomous vehicles in traffic?
b) given that "irresponsibly" is a good answer to a), how can the car respond in a safe way?
c) what are the technical limits of the sensors? How can this be accounted for?
My answers are respectively "eventually well", "over-cautiousness" and "redundancies". Petit touches only slightly on c) but that's about it. It's no wake-up call, not by a long shot.
