abstract
How can we reliably simulate future driving scenarios under a wide range of ego driving behaviors? Recent driving world models, developed exclusively on real-world driving data composed mainly of safe expert trajectories, struggle to follow hazardous or non-expert behaviors, which are rare in such data. This limitation restricts their applicability to tasks such as policy evaluation. In this work, we address this challenge by enriching real-world human demonstrations with diverse non-expert data collected from a driving simulator (e.g., CARLA), and building a controllable world model trained on this heterogeneous corpus. Starting with a video generator featuring a diffusion transformer architecture, we devise several strategies to effectively integrate conditioning signals and improve prediction controllability and fidelity. The resulting model, ReSim, enables Reliable Simulation of diverse open-world driving scenarios under various actions, including hazardous non-expert ones. To close the gap between high-fidelity simulation and applications that require reward signals to judge different actions, we introduce a Video2Reward module that estimates a reward from ReSim's simulated future. Our ReSim paradigm achieves up to 44% higher visual fidelity, improves controllability for both expert and non-expert actions by over 50%, and boosts planning and policy selection performance on NAVSIM by 2% and 25%, respectively.

VLA-World improves autonomous driving by using action-guided future image generation followed by reflective reasoning over the imagined scene to refine trajectories.
IDOL uses inverse dynamics on adjacent predicted latent futures to extract planning-relevant motion deltas, then optimizes trajectories with a closed-loop refinement step, reporting SOTA results on NAVSIM v1 and v2.
CoWorld-VLA extracts semantic, geometric, dynamic, and trajectory expert tokens from multi-source supervision and feeds them into a diffusion-based hierarchical planner, achieving competitive collision avoidance and trajectory accuracy on the NAVSIM v1 benchmark.
DriveFuture achieves SOTA results on NAVSIM by conditioning latent world model states on future predictions to directly inform trajectory planning.
Sim2Real-AD enables zero-shot transfer of CARLA-trained VLM-guided RL policies to full-scale vehicles, reporting 75-90% success rates in car-following, obstacle avoidance, and stop-sign scenarios without real-world RL training data.
DriveLaW unifies video world modeling and trajectory planning by injecting video-generator latents into a diffusion planner, achieving SOTA video prediction and a new record on the NAVSIM planning benchmark.
ReWorld applies future-predictive, cross-modal, and hard-negative supervision directly to intermediate representations in Video and Action DiTs for WAMs, reporting 23.9% FVD improvement and PDMS rise from 89.1 to 90.4 on nuScenes and NAVSIM.
