The query "UniAD" most likely refers to a unified autonomous driving framework. However, based on the retrieved evidence, the closest relevant work addresses adversarial robustness in end-to-end autonomous driving (AD) models. Zhang et al. (2024) propose Module-wise Adaptive Adversarial Training (MA2T), explicitly framed as the first study applying adversarial training to end-to-end AD models, which are systems that integrate perception, prediction, and planning stages.1
- End-to-End Autonomous Driving (AD) Models — Systems that integrate perception, prediction, and planning into a unified pipeline, achieving state-of-the-art performance but remaining vulnerable to adversarial perturbations. Zhang et al. (2024)
- Adversarial Perturbations — Human-imperceptible noise-like patterns that can subtly alter input data and disrupt decision-making in otherwise accurate deep learning models.
- Module-wise Noise Injection — A technique that injects noise before the input of different modules, targeting training with the guidance of overall objectives rather than each independent module loss.
- Dynamic Weight Accumulation Adaptation — A component of MA2T designed to address the strongly interconnected and distinct objectives of different stages within end-to-end AD models.

MA2T addresses a critical gap: no prior studies had focused on adversarial training for end-to-end AD models before this work. The challenge is non-trivial because different stages within the model have distinct objectives and are strongly interconnected, making conventional adversarial training extensions difficult.

- End-to-end AD models integrating perception, prediction, and planning remain vulnerable to human-imperceptible adversarial perturbations.
- MA2T is presented as the first adversarial training framework specifically designed for end-to-end autonomous driving models.
- Adversarial perturbations are a cross-domain threat, affecting vision, text, graph, and speech models alike.
- The independence of defense mechanisms from target model structure is a desirable property, as demonstrated in image-domain defenses using conditional GANs.
