Researchers from Keen Labs in China, one of the most widely respected cybersecurity research groups in the world, have successfully hacked a Tesla Model S autopilot system and forced the car to drive into an oncoming lane.
The wiley white hat hackers developed different forms of attack to confuse and disrupt the Tesla autopilot lane recognition system.
In the first method, Keen researchers added a large number of patches to the dividing line on the road itself to blur it. While it did fool the autopilot, the researchers deemed it too conspicuous to be of any practical, if malicious, use in the real world.
Uh oh. That’s not good news for owners.
