Off the Rails: Hijacking the Scoring Head in Generative End-to-End Driving Planners with Safety-Violating Adversarial Perturbations

arXiv:2606.30807v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative models have recently seen rapid adoption in End-to-End (E2E) autonomous driving (AD), with diffusion-based denoising and vocabulary-based retrieval becoming the dominant trajectory-decoding paradigms. Despite their architectural diversity, current generative AD planners share a common inference pattern: a fixed set of candidate trajectories (anchors, vocabulary entries, or proposal queries) is scored by one or more learned heads conditio...
