Hacking Tesla Lane Changing

The Tencent Keen Security Lab have published a paper on successful hacks they have carried out on a Tesla Model S 75. Some of the attacks described in the paper can be used to gain remote control of the car's steering or to trick the windscreen wiper system into activating. A more serious attack uses perturbation to trick the lane AI image recognition to drive into oncoming traffic. By placing small stickers on the road to simulate a lane diversion, the physical attack confuses the AI lane detection and the car follows the path into oncoming traffic.
