Autonomous vehicles (AVs) rely heavily on the Global Positioning System (GPS) for precise navigation. But the lack of encryption and weak signal strength of GPS signals make them vulnerable to spoofing attacks. These attacks deceive AVs by altering GPS receivers to calculate false position and tracking information, leading to misdirection. The study particularly focuses on a stealthy slow drift GPS spoofing attack that gradually deviates the vehicle from the correct route, making real-time detection challenging. It presents a system and study methodology for constructing covert spoofing attacks on AVs and suggests potential defenses.
