Last Week in AI #170: Tricking autonomous vehicles with phantom obstacles, AI to track and prevent deforestation, Google limits deepfakes in Colab, and more!

Top News UCI Researchers: Autonomous Vehicles Can Be Tricked Into Dangerous Driving Behavior Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have designed a testing tool, called PlanFuzz, which can automatically detect security vulnerabilities in widely used automated driving systems. These security vulnerabilities are part of the planning module of autonomous driving systems which decides when to change lanes and slow down and stop, among other functions. They used their system to evaluate autonomous driving systems Apollo and Autoware. The researchers …
