Fooling a self-driving car with mirrors on traffic cones

LIDAR is used on most self-driving cars - Tesla is the exception - and uses laser pulses to measure the physical environment, but is known to struggle with reflective surfaces. Last year a team of eggheads managed to fool LIDAR with tinfoil and colored swatches. The European researchers went one better with a technique they called an Object Removal Attack (ORA) which used mirrors of various sizes to cover a traffic cone.
