Researchers have developed Sarus, a novel framework designed to enable privacy-preserving fusion of perception data from multiple autonomous vehicle vendors. This system utilizes homomorphic encryption to allow a central fusion server to aggregate detection outputs without accessing sensitive individual vendor data or proprietary model behaviors. Experiments on the KITTI dataset, using detectors like YOLOv8 and PointPillars, demonstrate that Sarus can effectively enhance scene-level coverage by combining complementary detections, particularly in scenarios where individual sensor modalities might falter.
