DriveSpatial benchmark shows the strongest of 15 VLMs trails humans by 28.4 points on spatiotemporal tasks, with cognitive scene construction as the primary weakness.
Introduces CausalPhys benchmark with causal graphs and CRFT fine-tuning to improve VLMs' causal physical reasoning accuracy and interpretability.
VLMs reach only 0.66 accuracy on relative camera pose estimation while humans achieve 0.91 and specialized pipelines reach 0.99, exposing weaknesses in multi-view spatial reasoning.
