How to segfault an autonomous vehicle.
Someone will at some point try this for sure
Actually I'd think handling unclear situations like this would be one of the major things that makes autonomous driving systems so complicated and challenging to develop.
You are completely correct. The "happy path" or what to do if everything goes right is fairly straightforward for autonomous cars. It's when it gets into exceptions or unexpected scenarios like this that it becomes a problem. It's a car so you can't just stop it in the middle of the road, but you cant tell it to ignore road signs either
I knew printing your own signs would lead to interesting exploits, but this is just next level.
