Obviously but the bar is much lower for tricking cars than it is humans. And I think that is the problem being highlighted by this. Not that you can trick the computer but that you can do it with something that would never work with a human. Self driving systems and driver assists are always marketed as systems that improve some things humans can already do and the expectation is that recognizing lane markers or signs on the side of the road are some of those things.
We adjusted all the infrastructure around driving to fit humans. The height or appearance of a stop sign accounts for this. It's possible that we'll have to tweak this to be more suited for cars now which would come with a different set of design rules: shapes, colors, materials used, etc. to better fit computer vision + lidar/radar. But as it stands today it's far easier to trick a car than it is to trick a human and I think that's an important thing to be aware of, not just find excuses for why it happens because of brand affinity or anything like that.
