Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for anti hacker's hijacking of an autonomous vehicle, a device and a storage medium, wherein the method comprises monitoring an autonomous vehicle's running data; determining whether the autonomous vehicle is hijacked by a hacker according to a monitoring result and a preset rule; activating an anti-hijack emergency handling operation if it is determined that the autonomous vehicle is hijacked by the hacker. The solution of the present disclosure may be applied to improve safety of the autonomous vehicle.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for anti hacker's hijacking of an autonomous vehicle, wherein the method comprises:
monitoring the autonomous vehicle's running data, the monitoring comprising at least (a) monitoring whether the autonomous vehicle's basic functions are in an in-use state and (b) monitoring a driving safety state of the autonomous vehicle, the driving safety state of the autonomous vehicle comprising at least one of accelerator changes, speed changes, steering angle changes, and braking changes of the autonomous vehicle;
determining whether the autonomous vehicle is hijacked by a hacker according to a monitoring result and a preset hijack-finding rule, the preset hijack-finding rule being related to the autonomous vehicle's hardware malfunction, the autonomous vehicle's basic software function, and the driving safety state of the autonomous vehicle;
activating an anti-hijack emergency handling operation if it is determined that the autonomous vehicle is hijacked by the hacker; and
updating the preset hijack-finding rule by updating a system of the autonomous vehicle.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the activating the anti-hijack emergency handling operation comprises:
disconnecting a network connection between the autonomous vehicle and the external.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein
the activating the anti-hijack emergency handling operation further comprises one of the following or any combinations thereof:
forcedly killing all user level processes which are user state process related to a passenger of the vehicle and a destination;
setting all basic software functions to be in an in-use state;
turning on emergency flashers, pulling over and reporting to the police.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the method further comprises:
when an emergency button of the autonomous vehicle is pressed and the autonomous vehicle system is switched to a protection mode, activating the anti-hijack emergency handling operation.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein
the activating the anti-hijack emergency handling operation comprises one of the following or any combinations thereof:
setting all basic software functions to be in an in-use state;
turning on emergency flashers, pulling over and reporting to the police;
when the emergency button is pressed, the network connection between the autonomous vehicle and the external may be disconnected in a mechanical manner.

6. A computer device, comprising a memory, a processor and a computer program which is stored on the memory and runs on the processor, wherein the processor, upon executing the program, implements the following operations:
monitoring an autonomous vehicle's running data, the monitoring comprising at least (a) monitoring whether the autonomous vehicle's basic functions are in an in-use state and (b) monitoring a driving safety state of the autonomous vehicle, the driving safety state of the autonomous vehicle comprising at least one of accelerator changes, speed changes, steering angle changes, and braking changes of the autonomous vehicle;
determining whether the autonomous vehicle is hijacked by a hacker according to a monitoring result and a preset hijack-finding rule, the preset hijack-finding rule being related to the autonomous vehicle's hardware malfunction, the autonomous vehicle's basic software function, and the driving safety state of the autonomous vehicle;
activating an anti-hijack emergency handling operation if it is determined that the autonomous vehicle is hijacked by the hacker; and
updating the preset hijack-finding rule by updating a system of the autonomous vehicle.

7. The computer device according to claim 6 , wherein the activating the anti-hijack emergency handling operation comprises:
disconnecting a network connection between the autonomous vehicle and the external.

8. The computer device according to claim 7 , wherein
the activating the anti-hijack emergency handling operation further comprises one of the following or any combinations thereof:
forcedly killing all user level processes which are user state process related to a passenger of the vehicle and a destination;
setting all basic software functions to be in an in-use state;
turning on emergency flashers, pulling over and reporting to the police.

9. The computer device according to claim 6 , wherein
the operation further comprises:
when an emergency button of the autonomous vehicle is pressed and the autonomous vehicle system is switched to a protection mode, activating the anti-hijack emergency handling operation.

10. The computer device according to claim 9 , wherein
the activating the anti-hijack emergency handling operation comprises one of the following or any combinations thereof:
setting all basic software functions to be in an in-use state;
turning on emergency flashers, pulling over and reporting to the police;
when the emergency button is pressed, the network connection between the autonomous vehicle and the external may be disconnected in a mechanical manner.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored, wherein the program, when executed by a processor, implements operations comprising:
monitoring an autonomous vehicle's running data, the monitoring comprising at least (a) monitoring whether the autonomous vehicle's basic functions are in an in-use state and (b) monitoring a driving safety state of the autonomous vehicle, the driving safety state of the autonomous vehicle comprising at least one of accelerator changes, speed changes, steering angle changes, and braking changes of the autonomous vehicle;
determining whether the autonomous vehicle is hijacked by a hacker according to a monitoring result and a preset hijack-finding rule, the preset hijack-finding rule being related to the autonomous vehicle's hardware malfunction, the autonomous vehicle's basic software function, and the driving safety state of the autonomous vehicle;
activating an anti-hijack emergency handling operation if it is determined that the autonomous vehicle is hijacked by the hacker; and
updating the preset hijack-finding rule by updating a system of the autonomous vehicle.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein
the activating the anti-hijack emergency handling operation comprises:
disconnecting a network connection between the autonomous vehicle and the external.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 12 , wherein
the activating the anti-hijack emergency handling operation further comprises one of the following or any combinations thereof:
forcedly killing all user level processes which are user state process related to a passenger of the vehicle and a destination;
setting all basic software functions to be in an in-use state;
turning on emergency flashers, pulling over and reporting to the police.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein
the operation further comprises:
when an emergency button of the autonomous vehicle is pressed and the autonomous vehicle system is switched to a protection mode, activating the anti-hijack emergency handling operation.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 14 , wherein
the activating the anti-hijack emergency handling operation comprises one of the following or any combinations thereof:
setting all basic software functions to be in an in-use state;
turning on emergency flashers, pulling over and reporting to the police;
