LLM-powered framework enables adaptive LiDAR attacks

Researchers have developed TACTIC, a novel framework that leverages a multimodal large language model (MLLM) to execute adaptive roadside LiDAR attacks. This system uses local perception data and roadside imagery to build a semantic scene graph, enabling it to select and configure attack primitives like 'push-away' and 'phantom-obstacle braking'. In CARLA simulations, TACTIC achieved a 100% collision rate, significantly outperforming fixed or randomly selected attack policies, and demonstrated improved response times through asynchronous replanning.

IMPACT Demonstrates potential for LLMs to coordinate complex, context-aware attacks on physical systems, raising safety concerns.

    TACTIC: Temporal and Context-Aware LLM Tactical Planning for Roadside LiDAR Attacks

    arXiv:2609.39969v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Physical LiDAR attacks are often evaluated using fixed primitives and manually selected parameters, despite their strong dependence on surrounding traffic. We present TACTIC, a scene-aware framework that uses a multimodal large la…
