Security researchers have developed a way to trick Tesla's self-driving technology into driving into the oncoming traffic lane. By placing stickers on the ground, the Autopilot (pictured) software told the car to drive into the oncoming laneWHAT IS TESLA'S AUTOPILOT? The researchers found they could trick Tesla's Autopilot technology by placing a series of reflective stickers on the ground. They did this by reverse-engineering version 2018.6.1 of Tesla's Autopilot software to understand some of its underlying technical systems. Circled in red are the reflective stickers placed on the ground, which tricked Autopilot into swerving into the oncoming traffic lane.
