arXiv:2610.21034v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) couple safety-critical perception to thermally constrained compute. Interfaces built for night perception and package thermal reliability were never engineered as confidentiality boundaries, and closing one such path leaves the other intact. Physical adversaries can spoof thermal infrared (IR) sensors used for night driving, while unprivileged software co-tenants can fingerprint perception workloads from thermal, dynamic
