Abstract
A method of handling a potential adversarial attack on an autonomous vehicle while driving a road, the autonomous vehicle including an algorithm for navigating the autonomous vehicle based on monitoring data related to an environment of the vehicle, the adversarial attack being based on deceiving the algorithm by means of a manipulated traffic indicator arrangement in the environment of the autonomous vehicle and/or triggering the algorithm to stop the autonomous vehicle by means of a stop arrangement in the environment of the autonomous vehicle.

A method for handling a potential adversarial attack on an autonomous vehicle while driving a road, the autonomous vehicle including an algorithm for navigating the autonomous vehicle based on monitoring data related to an environment of the vehicle, the adversarial attack being based on deceiving the algorithm by means of a manipulated traffic indicator arrangement in the environment of the autonomous vehicle, wherein validated and/or certified first traffic indicator arrangement data for said environment is provided to the autonomous vehicle by a remote control center, the method comprising:
- a) Monitoring, by the autonomous vehicle, an environment of the vehicle in order to generate monitoring data related to a potential traffic indicator arrangement in said environment;
- b) Recognizing, from the monitoring data, a traffic indicator arrangement in said environment by means of the algorithm used in the autonomous vehicle in order to generate second traffic indicator arrangement data;
- c) Comparing the first traffic indicator arrangement data and the second traffic indicator arrangement data;
- and
- d) Based on the comparison, ignoring one of the first traffic indicator arrangement data and the second traffic indicator arrangement data and navigating the autonomous vehicle by using the other one of the second traffic indicator arrangement data and the first traffic indicator arrangement data.
A method for handling a potential adversarial attack on an autonomous vehicle while driving a road, the autonomous vehicle including an algorithm for navigating the autonomous vehicle based on monitoring data related to an environment of the vehicle, the adversarial attack being based on triggering the algorithm to stop the autonomous vehicle by means of a stop arrangement in the environment of the autonomous vehicle, the method comprising:
- e) Monitoring, by the autonomous vehicle, an environment of the vehicle in order to generate monitoring data related to a potential stop arrangement;
- f) Recognizing, from the monitoring data, a stop arrangement in said environment by means of the algorithm used in the autonomous vehicle;
- g) Transmitting the monitoring data to a remote control center;
- and
- h) By the control center, analyzing the monitoring data and/or receiving an analysis input related to the monitoring data and based on the analyzing and/or the received analysis input, causing the autonomous vehicle to initiate an adversarial attack defense mode and/or transmitting an alert to a government and/or security agency and/or to one or more other vehicles.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform a method for handling a potential adversarial attack on an autonomous vehicle while driving a road, the autonomous vehicle including an algorithm for navigating the autonomous vehicle based on monitoring data related to an environment of the vehicle, the adversarial attack being based on triggering the algorithm to stop the autonomous vehicle by means of a stop arrangement in the environment of the autonomous vehicle, the method comprising:
- e) Monitoring, by the autonomous vehicle, an environment of the vehicle in order to generate monitoring data related to a potential stop arrangement;
- f) Recognizing, from the monitoring data, a stop arrangement in said environment by means of the algorithm used in the autonomous vehicle;
- g) Transmitting the monitoring data to a remote control center;
- and
- h) By the control center, analyzing the monitoring data and/or receiving an analysis input related to the monitoring data and based on the analyzing and/or the received analysis input, causing the autonomous vehicle to initiate an adversarial attack defense mode and/or transmitting an alert to a government and/or security agency and/or to one or more other vehicles.
