Abstract:In safety-critical Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), trajectory prediction guides downstream planning and control. Deep learning models forecast well on validation data, but their reliability drops in out-of-distribution (OOD) scenarios driven by environmental uncertainty or rare traffic behaviors [1, 2]. Such failures are often silent: forecasts stay spatially plausible while accuracy collapses, and reported uncertainty does not rise [3]. Detection is hard because traffic conditions and interaction patterns keep evolving, yet the safety-critical nature of autonomous driving (AD) demands formal guarantees on detection delay and false-alarm rate. Following [4], we reframe OOD monitoring as quickest changepoint detection (QCD), a principled statistical framework with well-established theory. We find that the evolution of prediction errors on in-distribution (ID) data is well modeled by a Hidden Markov Model (HMM). Building on this, we extend a recent cumulative Maximum Mean Discrepancy approach to our setting. The method needs no detailed prior knowledge of the post-change distribution, yet admits provable delay and false-alarm guarantees. On three real-world driving datasets, it reduces detection delay while staying robust to heavy-tailed distributions and unknown post-change conditions.
