Self-driving cars have come a long way from being a sci-fi fantasy, with the likes of Google, Uber and Tesla all establishing a stake in the race to bring them to the road. But as autonomous vehicles have become more commonplace, so has criticism around a lack of safety in the technology. Uber, Google and Tesla have all exhibited elements of 'recklessness' in their development of autonomous vehicles, as shown by the slew of accidents that have recently occurred, according to Gizmodo. Scroll down for video An Uber SUV after hitting a woman on March 18, 2018, in Tempe, Ariz. A new report claims an Uber executive warned others of safety issues just five days before the crash took place Crashes involving self-driving cars have led to injuries and, in some cases, even death. And often, the autonomous vehicles escape the blame for the incident - instead, it has fallen on the human test drivers who were supposed to be watching the road. What's more, it's not clear how many … [Read more...] about Damning report reveals the ‘deadly recklessness’ of companies racing to put self-driving cars on public roads, after leaked email shows Uber was warned of safety risks just DAYS before one of its vehicles killed a pedestrian

When Cars Are as Hackable as Cell Phones
Imagine this future scenario: Self-driving cars form an orderly procession down a highway, traveling at precisely the right following distance and speed. All the on-board computers cooperate and all the vehicles travel reach their destinations safely. But what if one person jailbreaks her car, and tells her AI driver to go just a little faster than the other cars? As the aggressive car moves up on the other vehicles, their safety mechanisms kick in and they change lanes to get out of the way. It might make the overall efficiency of the transportation lower, but this one person would get ahead. This is but one of many scenarios that Ryan Gerdes of Utah State University is exploring with a $1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation to look at the security of the autonomous vehicle future. "The designers of these systems essentially believe that all of the nodes or vehicles in the system want to cooperate, that they have the same goals," Gerdes … [Read more...] about When Cars Are as Hackable as Cell Phones
