What types of cameras do these self-driving cars use? I'm just saying, there's got to be a way to confuse and redirect them that's invisible to the naked human eye.

I motion we organise and send every self-driving shitty excuse for a train to one massive pit.

    Googled it and: Standard AI cameras do not see ultraviolet (UV) or infrared (IR) light natively because manufacturers install a physical blocking filter over the image sensor

    So I think it would take hacking their software somehow or poisoning their map data to do what you suggest.

    There was a video a while ago where a tesla took a hard 90° left turn at 60 mph directly into a tree ostensibly because of some road repair work that looked like painted lines when the sun hit them right.

    Anything black and reflective, something that reflects IR or just an IR emitter like from a TV remote.

    I keep wanting to make a thing that will shoot small shredded bits of aluminum foil. I have the feeling this could make a self driving car stop if it uses radar.

    I have a car with some limited self-driving capability, I should just try it out.
