- elictronic 2y agoDrivers can also be blinded by consumer grade laser pointers. If someone starts attacking safety systems physically I would expect they will get quite a bit of jail time.

- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> Messing with machines have a way lower ethical threshold for most people We’re in the regime of throwing rocks at a freeway from a bridge to cutting brake lines as a prank. The attack surface here isn’t new and isn’t difficult to think through. Someone who can’t is going to be equally dangerous, machine or man.
- rightbyte 2y agoI don't think e.g. 'kids' will see it like cutting a brake line. I agree, as a former ECU programmer, though. I am terrified of drive by wire. More like making the Google computer do silly things. More comparable would be the prank of tying some soda tin cans in a string to the exhaust etc, in how I believe my scapegoat kids would see it.

- rightbyte 2y agoThey can be blinded by the sun too. I worked as a reaserch engineer at a uni playing with a 16 beam Velodyne when those were fancy. Put it on a car for a demo day, drawing the dots in 3d and marking obstacles red, and during sun set there was artifacts with no obvious way to filter out. Strangely, I was never able to recreate this. I think was some specific athmospheric condition.
