Bird's-eye-view (BEV) representations are the dominant paradigm for 3D perception in autonomous driving, providing a unified spatial canvas where detection and segmentation features are geometrically registered to the same physical coordinate system. However, existing radar-camera fusion methods treat these tasks in isolation, missing the opportunity for cross-task feature sharing: object-level geometric cues from detection can sharpen segmentation, while dense road-layout context from segmentation can anchor detection. We propose \textbf{CTAB} (Cross-Task Attention Bridge), a bidirectional module that exchanges features between detection and segmentation branches via multi-scale deformable attention in shared BEV space. CTAB is integrated into a multi-task framework with an Instance Normalization-based segmentation decoder and learnable BEV upsampling to provide a more detailed BEV representation. On nuScenes, CTAB improves segmentation on 7 classes over the joint multi-task baseline at essentially neutral detection. On a 4-class subset (drivable area, pedestrian crossing, walkway, vehicle), our joint multi-task model achieves 51.0 mIoU-4 while simultaneously providing competitive 3D detection.
