Autonomous vehicles can still see lanes through tampered sensors—but in the wrong place

THE AI ANGLE
Processing optical sensor data to guide vehicle navigation

Researchers found that applying a thin prism film to vehicle cameras and LiDAR shifts perceived object locations by twenty degrees without blocking detection. This displacement can exceed one meter and cause autonomous systems to steer into oncoming traffic. Developers must now create methods for vehicles to detect optical tampering and respond on their own.

THE TEACHING ANGLE
Vehicles continue to detect objects normally even when physical tampering shifts optical readings by more than a meter.
