The paper introduces a Kolmogorov-Arnold network as an interpretable post‑hoc surrogate to assess the trustworthiness of YOLOv10 object detections, using seven geometric and semantic features. Its additive spline structure allows direct visualization of each feature’s influence, revealing when confidence scores are reliable or unreliable. A bootstrapped BLIP language‑image model generates scene captions, providing a lightweight multimodal interface that does not compromise interpretability. Experiments on COCO and University of Bath campus images show the framework accurately flags low‑trust predictions under blur, occlusion, or low texture, offering actionable insights for risk mitigation.

End-to-end autonomous driving models are now able to navigate complex road scenarios, mapping raw sensor observations directly to observed paths for open-loop evaluation and often effective driving in closed-loop evaluation. Yet the internal logic of these safety-critical systems remains largely opaque, due to the complexity of traffic scenes.

The paper evaluates five vision‑language models on autonomous driving tasks under various visual input conditions, finding that visual corruption affects accuracy and confidence differently across models and datasets. It then tests Visual Evidence Augmentation (VEA) as an inference‑time technique to enhance reliability, observing mixed improvements depending on the model and setting.

The paper examines how preprocessing defenses, commonly used to protect edge vision systems, perform on depthwise‑separable CNNs versus residual architectures. Six preprocessing methods were tested against adversarial attacks, revealing that depthwise‑separable models consistently fail to recover from perturbations while residual models show partial recovery. Interestingly, the same preprocessing that hinders clean predictions leaves adversarial predictions largely intact, offering a measurable detection signal, and the study also finds that typical image‑quality metrics do not reliably indicate defense success.
