Abstract:We demonstrate that a supply-chain level compromise of the adaptive cruise control (ACC) capability on equipped vehicles can be used to significantly degrade system level performance of current day mixed-autonomy freeway networks. Via a simple threat model which causes random deceleration attacks (RDAs), compromised vehicles create congestion waves in the traffic that decrease average speed and network throughput. We use a detailed and realistic traffic simulation environment to quantify the impacts of the att… Show more
