    Source: Electrical Tape on Sign Fooled a Tesla Into Speeding in Test

    (Bloomberg) -- Researchers were able to trick a Tesla Inc. vehicle into speeding by putting a strip of electrical tape over a speed limit sign, spotlighting the kinds of potential vulnerabilities facing automated driving systems.

    Technicians at McAfee Inc. placed the piece of tape horizontally across the middle of the “3” on a 35 mile-per-hour speed limit sign. The change caused the vehicle to read the limit as 85 miles per hour, and its cruise control system automatically accelerated, according to research released by McAfee on Wednesday.
    . . .
    The tests involved a 2016 Model S and Model X that used camera systems supplied by Mobileye Inc., now a unit of Intel Corp. Mobileye systems are used by several automakers though Tesla stopped using them in 2016.

    Tests on Mobileye’s latest camera system didn’t reveal the same vulnerability, and Tesla’s latest vehicles apparently don’t depend on traffic sign recognition, according to McAfee.    ​

    My 2014 BMW i3-REx has a similar Mobileye system. The fault is Mobile eye and shows another example why Tesla does not trust subcontractors.

    This is the modern version of a speed trap!
    Do we need a law to prevent the cops from using tape on speed limit signs?

    if someone posted a fake 100 mph sign, and i went 100, would that mean my eyes are defective?
