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.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.”
