cause if not, a street lamp with a sticker on it that tells driverless cars "school zone ended, speed limit 150" and is not recognizable to humans as any kind of attack is just as effective as using these attacks on stopsigns

this kicked off a big derail in the past but imo self driving cars are going to default to a stored database of road data for routing and basic safety info like school zone, speed limits etc. in the absence of potentially unreliable signage data

sudden hazardous weather most likely, or detours around temporary lane closures like for accidents - ideally neither being approached at speed

you can't have a realistically self-driving system that relies on stored databases, cause stored databases != real life, current conditions. driverless cars need to deal with construction, or police rerouting cause of an accident, or or or. worse, stored databases are also an easy target if you want to cause some mayhem. it's not like hackers have failed to break into a database before, and loving up a routing and basic safety info database would cause a whole lot of mayhem and destruction until it was fixed. that's not to mention that adversarial attacks don't have to be based on signage or image recognition to be effective. i'm sure you could abuse a car's lidar input to create obstacles where there are none to interfere with traffic and all kinds of other nasty attacks that we haven't thought of yet.

yeah it's a supplement friendo. that's why i said "default to". as i recall the last derail came because people cant read and assumed i was talking about doing 100% sql lookups for basic self driving tasks even though if you just think about it for half a second that's so implausible it couldn't possibly be what i am saying

road conditions and networks don't change often enough to make stored databases unrealistic for the majority of real world needs, this is already how GPS navigation systems work either as a standalone device in your car or as data streamed to you from somewhere. they can even notify you when you're driving over the referenced speed limit on a given segment of road

Stuff that removes leaving-the-house busywork is fine by me. I like public spaces and spending time with friends/family, but I don't feel like I'm losing a whole lot by having more things delivered rather than going to a restaurant or Best Buy or whatever to pick it up myself.

you're either misusing "default to" or misstating how your proposed system would work. you're saying it would look up the database whenever it could and rely on visual and topological data second if the database is unavailable, which is a disaster waiting to happen for the reasons i already told you. if you mean it would look up database info and then use that to supplement real world info collected by the lidar and other sensors, well, you've just hit the adversarial data problem again and that database lookup isn't going to protect you from it. i would suggest you rethink what you're saying cause it doesn't make sense that you think the car wouldn't be hitting the database a ton, but also would default to the database.

those real world needs currently don't involve guiding a car, and GPS is not sufficient for that or we would already have self driving cars. you're oversimplifying the problem and then saying it's easily solvable.

a self-driving car is different than people. people can use GPS cause they use it to supplement their senses. a self driving car with a neural network cannot trust its senses in the face of adversarial data, and GPS data will not protect it from that (cause at that point you're choosing to ignore potential real world issues in lieu of a database that may be out of date!)

once you've introduced lidar, or other sensors, you hit the adversarial data problem and you have to choose to either trust the neural network of the car or the database info, and you'd be insane to chose the database info

rethink your argument cause it's idiotic and doesn't actually apply to the conversation

Default can be used in either sense, stop slap fighting over the definition. Clearly what was meant was that a car would fall back to stored data in the absence of good sensor data. Stored maps can be updated in seconds with LTE connected cars, I literally worked on software to do that.

and that still doesn't help cause if detecting if data was "good" or not was feasible, adversarial data would not be a problem. computer scientists have been trying to find ways to detect if data is good or not to shield DNNs from adversarial attacks and none of their efforts have panned out yet.

i have specifically already told you guys that adversarial data cannot be detected by a neural network as faulty, that's why it's as insidious as it is.

that you guys think: "oh, the self-driving car will see the adversarial data, realize it's bad and look up the database" shows that you're not listening at all. if determining "this data is bad!!" was easy (or even actually doable at the moment) then adversarial data wouldn't be an issue and could be guarded against!

Basically, the cars themselves will communicate sensor data to the cloud for combined processing and distribution of the new lane definitions. There are POC swarming/follow the leader algorithms in use for emergencies/towing use cases that might be helpful. Cars can default in risky situations to slower speeds, increasing analysis time.

once you have a database of roads and an algorithm to calculate a route, all you have to do is calculate a new route which does not use the road segment under construction. right now there's no national standard for communicating road network data to routing database owners like this but there probably will be in the future so the state DOT can not only push notifications (which google can already collect via user input) along with preferred detours

how does the car determine if it's in a risky situation in the face of data that is specifically designed to trick it to think otherwise? again, if adversarial data was easy to recognize it wouldn't be a problem

If there is a big discrepancy between map and sensor data, we already have algorithms to limit that impact. For example, in Germany they have variable speed signs which change speed limits, sometimes unpredictably, and car image recognition isn't 100%. Continual large discrepancies would get flagged and investigated by an employee or government official.

if an interstate isn't entirely closed then you don't need to worry about alternate routing or detours, you just spend more time sitting in traffic which isn't so bad since you're in a self driving car now

also there's a difference here between how self driving cars will navigate their local environment, i.e. maintain lane and not hit obstacles, versus how they will navigate the overall road network, i.e. get from A to B. the tricky part is not hitting obstacles, because the other part has been solved for years now. weather doesn't have much to do with the latter part, routing, because you're going to take the same route whether or not it's raining (unless your route has flooded or something)

These attacks only target one part of a much greater system. It will take a great deal of ingenuity to actually get a self driving car in dangerous situations because telling it that the speed limit is 150 mph or that it's going the wrong way down a one way street already happens! Image recognition is not relied on as anything but one more piece of potentially faulty data.

Damn that's a

It feels like you guys are reiterating the same arguments that happened in the automation thread couple days ago. Mostly automated driving of any vehicle land, sea, air, or space, is quite possible now, but this involves a human intelligence acting as a tie breaker whenever competing information exists or information is absent. You can duplicate sensors, data, all sorts of things, but in the end it still comes back to a single decision making centre choosing whether to stop, go, turn, etc.

Until that single decision making centre is intelligent enough to not only use data, but assess its quality, it's difficult to call it capable of unattended function.

i am not, but you can pretend i am if you wish. there is not anything that specially seperates autonomous vehicle systems from other state of the art DNNs for the purposes of these attacks. they are still vulnerable to these attacks because of their reliance on sigmoid neurons for learning.
