Researchers have developed TwinIR, a novel attack methodology designed to disrupt online high-definition map construction, which is crucial for autonomous driving systems. This method addresses limitations in previous physical attacks by optimizing for minimal attack points and reducing visibility through near-infrared illumination. Experiments demonstrated that TwinIR can significantly degrade map accuracy, leading to increased unreachable goals and unsafe trajectory planning, and has been successfully validated on a real-world autonomous vehicle testbed.
