Fusion or Confusion? Potential and Challenges in Fusion of Onboard Sensors and V2X Data in Cooperative Perception

This collection of recent networking and ML systems papers surfaces several security- and safety-relevant findings. Key risks include cooperative perception fusion for CAVs: fusing onboard sensors with V2X can improve coverage but produces false positives (ghost objects) even when V2X is accurate, creating direct safety hazards and motivating robust fusion and validation methods (relevant to ETSI TS 103 324). Wireless/6G concerns include attacker models that manipulate beamforming in ISAC to mislead transmitters (game-theoretic + RL detection proposed), a novel decentralized NR‑V2X resource‑s­
