MDrive benchmark shows multi-agent cooperative driving systems generally outperform single-agent ones in closed-loop settings but perception sharing does not always improve planning and negotiation can harm performance in complex traffic.
NTR adds a self-distillation masked latent reconstruction objective that uses only scene tokens to reconstruct masked patch features, improving visual representation quality and planning performance in end-to-end autonomous driving.
CLOVER is a closed-loop generator-scorer framework that expands proposal coverage with pseudo-expert trajectories and performs conservative self-distillation to achieve state-of-the-art planning scores on NAVSIM and nuScenes.
DriveFuture achieves SOTA results on NAVSIM by conditioning latent world model states on future predictions to directly inform trajectory planning.
FeaXDrive improves end-to-end autonomous driving by shifting diffusion planning to a trajectory-centric formulation with curvature-constrained training, drivable-area guidance, and GRPO post-training, yielding stronger closed-loop performance and feasibility on NAVSIM.
The primary OL-CL gap in end-to-end autonomous driving arises from objective mismatch creating structural inability to model reactive behaviors, which a test-time adaptation method can mitigate.
EponaV2 advances perception-free driving world models by forecasting comprehensive future 3D geometry and semantic representations, achieving SOTA planning performance on NAVSIM benchmarks.
DIAL expands continuous-action driving policies via intent-conditioned flow matching and multi-intent GRPO, lifting best-of-N preference scores above human demonstrations for the first time on WOD-E2E.
CRAFT is an on-policy RL fine-tuning framework that decomposes closed-loop policy gradients into a group-normalized counterfactual proxy plus residual correction from interaction events, achieving top closed-loop performance on Bench2Drive across multiple driving architectures.
SpanVLA reduces action generation latency via flow-matching conditioned on history and improves robustness by training on negative-recovery samples with GRPO and a dedicated reasoning dataset.
RAD-2 uses a diffusion generator and RL discriminator to cut collision rates by 56% in closed-loop autonomous driving planning.
EvoDriveVLA uses collaborative perception-planning distillation with self-anchor and future-aware teachers to fix perception degradation and long-term instability in driving VLA models, reaching SOTA on nuScenes and NAVSIM.
