The paper evaluates five vision‑language models on autonomous driving tasks under various visual input conditions, finding that visual corruption affects accuracy and confidence differently across models and datasets. It then tests Visual Evidence Augmentation (VEA) as an inference‑time technique to enhance reliability, observing mixed improvements depending on the model and setting.

Recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown strong potential for autonomous driving scene understanding, yet existing methods still face a fundamental trade-off between temporal reasoning and spatial precision. Models that rely on single-frame or low-resolution inputs often miss small, distant, or partially occluded hazards, while language-centric driving models frequently provide limited grounded evidence for their explanations.

The paper introduces TimeCatch, a benchmark that evaluates temporal consistency in vision‑language models (VLMs) by treating temporal grounding as an anomaly detection problem. Temporal anomalies are created by swapping consecutive frames, while frame‑level anomalies involve replacing a frame with Gaussian noise. Across synthetic and real‑world datasets, VLMs reliably detect and localize frame‑level anomalies but perform near chance on temporal anomaly detection, whereas humans excel at both tasks.
