Why limit yourself to self driving cars? A smart malicious actor would just throw oil out their window on a highway. Watch all the cars crash!!

I think these adversarial examples are near irrelevant issues for self driving cars. If someone does something bad, we prosecute them. Its the same whether you're throwing oil onto a highway, covering up stop signs with adversarial stop signs, or whatever you might want to do.

Now if there was an exploit that caused all self driving cars in the whole country to suddenly crash into walls, that would be one thing. But these image-based attacks are limited to a single intersection or road at time. And after a single car crashes, the intersection gets closed. So if you really want to kill a few people, why not just go and stab them in the neck?
