提出灰盒攻击框架AFM,让自动驾驶模型误判却几乎看不见干扰。
Adversarial Flow Matching for Imperceptible Attacks on End-to-End Autonomous Driving

- 用神经平均速度场一步生成对抗样本,高效且利用Transformer结构漏洞。
- 攻击后模型性能大幅下降,但扰动视觉上几乎无法察觉。
- 适用于不了解完整模型的场景,对多种自动驾驶系统都有效。
自动驾驶正向端到端(E2E)架构演进,主要分为单体模型(如VLA)与模块化设计。尽管结构不同,二者均广泛采用Transformer进行复杂推理,存在共同隐患:视觉上难以察觉的扰动可诱导模型做出危险行为。现有攻击多需白盒或黑盒条件,要么依赖完整模型信息,要么查询延迟高、迁移性差。本文提出对抗流匹配(AFM),一种新型灰盒攻击框架,利用E2E自动驾驶模型中Transformer的结构弱点。AFM通过神经平均速度场实现单步生成对抗样本,并通过协同扰动生成潜在空间与神经平均速度场,实现高效且几乎不可见的攻击。大量实验表明,相比基线方法,AFM在攻击效果与不可察觉性之间取得更优平衡,显著降低VLA与模块化自动驾驶代理在多种场景下的性能,同时保持领先的视觉隐蔽性。此外,生成的对抗样本具有强跨模型迁移能力,表明其近似黑盒攻击效果,仅需知晓目标模型使用Transformer模块即可。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Autonomous driving (AD) is evolving towards end-to-end (E2E) frameworks through two primary paradigms: monolithic models exemplified by Vision-Language-Action (VLA), and specialized modular architectures. Despite their divergent designs, both paradigms increasingly rely on Transformer backbones for complex reasoning, potentially causing a shared vulnerability: visually imperceptible perturbations can manipulate E2E AD models into hazardous maneuvers by targeting the Transformer module. Most existing adversarial attack approaches against AD systems operate under white-box or black-box settings; yet, they typically necessitate full model transparency, or suffer from either prohibitive query latency or limited attack transferability. In this paper, we propose Adversarial Flow Matching (AFM), a novel gray-box attack framework that exploits Transformer structural vulnerabilities in E2E AD models. AFM enables efficient one-step generation of adversarial examples via a neural average velocity field. Additionally, the proposed technique yields effective and visually imperceptible attacks by synergistically perturbing the generative latent space and the neural average velocity field. Extensive experiments demonstrate that AFM achieves a superior trade-off between attack effectiveness and imperceptibility: it substantially degrades the performance of both VLA and modular AD agents across various scenarios compared to baselines, while maintaining state-of-the-art visual imperceptibility. Furthermore, adversarial examples generated by AFM exhibit robust cross-model transferability, indicating that AFM closely approximates a black-box attack setting while requiring only the prior knowledge that the target AD model incorporates a Transformer-based module.
