"Engineers Develop Hack to Make Automotive Radar Hallucinate"
Duke University engineers have demonstrated a system called "MadRadar" that can deceive automotive radar sensors. The technology can hide an approaching car, create a phantom car where none exists, or even mislead the radar into believing a real car has quickly deviated from its course. It can do this without having prior knowledge regarding the specific settings of the victim's radar, thus making it a significant threat to radar security. In the MadRadar demonstration, the team presented the capabilities of a radar-spoofing system they developed, which can accurately detect a car's radar parameters in less than a quarter of a second. Once discovered, the system can send out its own radar signals to confuse the target's radar. This article continues to discuss the study "MadRadar: A Black-Box Physical Layer Attack Framework on mmWave Automotive FMCW Radars."
