This paper proposes a spoofer detection framework for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication systems. The approach combines tensor-based direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation with YOLO-based object detection to identify inconsistencies between perceived and communicated vehicle positions. Experimental evaluation demonstrates the framework’s potential to enhance robustness and security in connected transportation environments.
