Autonomous cars have shown a concerning trend towards being vulnerable to cyber attacks. Tencent Keen researchers have successfully hacked Tesla’s Model X in both 2016 and 2017.  They were able to control doors, lights, and breaks in 2017.<ref>http://fortune.com/2017/07/28/tesla-model-x-tencent/</ref><ref>http://keenlab.tencent.com/en/2017/07/27/New-Car-Hacking-Research-2017-Remote-Attack-Tesla-Motors-Again/</ref><ref name="Cybrary 17-08-11">https://www.cybrary.it/0p3n/2017-08-11-unm4sk3d-cyber-security-news</ref> The vulnerability used for their 2016 hack of the car was presumably patched, but using a similar strategy, Tencent Keen was able to break in again in 2017.  That vulnerability has reportedly been patched as well.<br />

There have been other occasions where researchers have taken control of such cars remotely, sometimes even gaining access to throttle control and power steering.<br />

Another potential issue is that autonomous cars could potentially be deceived, whether by accident or design, into misinterpreting street signs and markings, and acting improperly and as a result.<ref name="Cybrary 17-08-11">https://www.cybrary.it/0p3n/2017-08-11-unm4sk3d-cyber-security-news</ref> (However, the only test case of this issue was somewhat artificial, using a neural net designed specifically for this test alone.)
