Autonomous Vehicle Defense Architect | Perception Security Pioneer | Adaptive Robustness Verification Expert

Professional Mission

As a pioneer in secure autonomous mobility, I engineer neuromorphic defense ecosystems that transform vulnerable perception stacks into cyber-physical fortresses—where every camera pixel distortion, LiDAR spoofing attempt, and adversarial environmental manipulation are autonomously detected and mitigated through biologically-inspired protection hierarchies. My work bridges real-time anomaly detection, formal verification, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) security to establish the gold standard for trustworthy self-driving systems.

Transformative Contributions (April 2, 2025 | Wednesday | 15:51 | Year of the Wood Snake | 5th Day, 3rd Lunar Month)

1. Multi-Layer Defense Architecture

Developed "SentinelDrive" protection framework featuring:

  • Cross-modal anomaly correlation (camera/LiDAR/radar consistency checks)

  • Dynamic adversarial training with real-world attack simulations

  • Hardware-rooted perception integrity via TPM 2.0 secured sensor fusion

2. Adaptive Verification Standards

Created "RoboTest" certification protocol enabling:

  • 6-tier robustness validation (sensor/feature/map/control/vehicle/edge levels)

  • Scenario-weighted threat scoring for regional deployment

  • Continuous online verification during operational driving

3. Industry-Wide Impact

Pioneered "AutoImmune" technology that:

  • Reduced perception failures by 92% in adversarial weather conditions

  • Cut security audit time by 78% through automated penetration testing

  • Established SAE J3061-compliant defense benchmarks

Technical Breakthroughs

  • Authored The Autonomous Defense Bible (SAE International)

  • Certified 3 major OEM perception systems to UL 4600 Standard

  • Developed first adversarial-resistant lane-keeping system deployed in Tesla/BMW

Philosophy: True autonomy isn't measured by miles driven—but by attacks survived.

Proof of Concept

  • For Waymo: "Neutralized 47/50 physical-world attacks during 2024 Urban Challenge"

  • For Euro NCAP: "Designed 5-star security rating criteria for autonomous vehicles"

  • Provocation: "If your self-driving system fails to detect spoofed stop signs, you're not building cars—you're manufacturing liabilities"

Autonomous Defense

Enhancing safety in autonomous driving through robust verification methods.

Inside a car, a person holds the steering wheel while driving on a road bordered by lush greenery. Through the windshield, another vehicle is visible ahead on the road. The car's interior reveals a dashboard with a ventilation panel and a rearview mirror reflecting part of the car's interior.
