Summary

Structured narratives turned disagreements between GNSS and independent vehicle sensing into a five-class spoofing detector.

The framework converts two independently derived driving states into text-like structured narratives and feeds them to a small language model. Across no-attack, overshoot, stopped, turn-by-turn and wrong-turn cases, the authors report 96.99 percent average accuracy and 97.18 percent F1, with lower latency and memory than their fine-tuned LLM comparisons. Tests on geographically unseen Clemson field data support transfer within the study, not universal resilience to adversarial driving conditions.
