Cyber-Physical Investigation of Autonomous Vehicle Incidents and Attacks

This project aims to develop a framework to enhance the investigation of autonomous vehicle incidents and attacks. The research focuses on improving development infrastructure for offline incident investigation and minimizing manual effort in identifying root causes of autonomous vehicle failures. The project consists of three main components: a deterministic replay tool for autonomous driving systems, a whole-system provenance infrastructure, and a provenance-guided root cause investigation tool.
