This article looks at the prevention of phantom attacks in autonomous (also known as driverless) cars and cars with advanced driver-assistance systems. Phantom attacks in advanced driver-assisted or driverless cars occur when phantoms, depth-less visual objects used to deceive object detection in computer vision, are purposely presented by cyber attackers to trigger a reaction such as an alarm or sudden automatic braking of the car. For prevention of these attacks the authors suggest extra focus on securing the artificial intelligence model and tips on evaluating the model’s enhanced security against phantom attacks. [EPC]
