The research community has increasing interest in autonomous driving research, despite the resource intensity of obtaining representative real world data. Existing self-driving datasets are limited in the scale and variation of the environments they capture, even though generalization within and between operating regions is crucial to the overall viability of the technology. In an effort to help align the research community's contributions with real-world self-driving problems, we introduce a new large scale, high quality, diverse dataset. Our new dataset consists of 1150 scenes that each span 20 seconds, consisting of well synchronized and calibrated high quality LiDAR and camera data captured across a range of urban and suburban geographies. It is 15x more diverse than the largest camera+LiDAR dataset available based on our proposed diversity metric. We exhaustively annotated this data with 2D (camera image) and 3D (LiDAR) bounding boxes, with consistent identifiers across frames. Finally, we provide strong baselines for 2D as well as 3D detection and tracking tasks. We further study the effects of dataset size and generalization across geographies on 3D detection methods.

  1. Proteus: A Truncation-Robust Entropy Model for Progressive LiDAR Compression

    cs.CV 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A LiDAR codec that keeps the most significant range bits in a self-contained stream and encodes the rest in a FIFO stream, making any prefix of the truncatable stream decode to a deterministically coarser point cloud.

  2. OmniTraj: Pre-Training on Heterogeneous Data for Adaptive and Zero-Shot Human Trajectory Prediction

    cs.CV 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Feeding the frame rate into a pre-trained transformer yields state-of-the-art zero-shot human trajectory prediction across datasets with different temporal setups.

  3. GeoCD: A Differential Local Approximation for Geodesic Chamfer Distance

    cs.CV 2025-06 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    GeoCD replaces Euclidean distances in Chamfer Distance with a differentiable multi-hop kNN graph approximation of geodesic distance, improving point cloud reconstruction after one epoch of fine-tuning.

  4. Asleep at the Wheel: JEPA's Limitations in Evaluating Novel Driving Data

    cs.CV 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A JEPA novelty score that appears to triage driving clips across datasets is actually detecting dataset provenance, and fails on a same-dataset benchmark where a supervised probe on the same embeddings succeeds.

  5. StixelNExT++: Lightweight Monocular Scene Segmentation and Representation for Collective Perception

    cs.CV 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A monocular neural network predicts 3D Stixels directly from RGB images in about 10 ms, with a self-defined Waymo evaluation showing competitive performance within 30 m.
