Phantom of the ADAS (Nassi et al., ACM CCS 2020) made a driver-assist car stop for a billboard stop sign shown for 125 ms. GhostBusters uses four small networks and a fifth decision network, catching 99.4% of phantoms with zero false alarms on real signs.

Adaptive SDR Networking: Tactical Communications in Contested Environments
Creomagic announced cognitive software-defined radio technology that performs real-time RF spectrum analysis and adapts networking parameters. The solution also includes a dual-waveform architecture that runs a high-throughput broadband layer alongside a resilient low-signature command-and-control layer.
Key points
Cognitive SDR continuously monitors the electromagnetic environment and autonomously adjusts frequency, modulation and waveform behavior.
Dual-waveform architecture runs two synchronized layers: a primary broadband data layer and a secondary low-signature, highly resilient command-and-control layer.
