Abstract
A method and an apparatus for detecting a spoofing attempt associated with an autonomous vehicle are provided. The method includes acquiring, via interface circuitry of the apparatus for spoofing prevention, one or more sensor data from one or more sensors. The one or more sensor data is annotated to obtain sensor information. The sensor information extracts traffic information that the one or more sensor data carries. Abnormal sensor data that fails to capture surrounding traffic information is discarded. Furthermore, a spoofing attempt is determined based on a determination that at least one inconsistent sensor data is identified. The at least one inconsistent sensor data provides different traffic information compared to other sensor data of the one or more sensor data generated by the one or more sensors. The vehicle is therefore informed to ignore a portion of the sensor information associated with the spoofing attempt when the spoofing attempt is identified.
