Driving with DINO: Vision Foundation Features as a Unified Bridge for Sim-to-Real Generation in Autonomous Driving

The paper introduces Driving with DINO (DwD), a framework that uses Vision Foundation Module (VFM) features to bridge simulation and real-world domains for autonomous driving video generation. It addresses the consistency‑realism dilemma by projecting VFM features onto a principal subspace, dropping high‑frequency texture elements, and applying a Random Channel Tail Drop to preserve structural detail. Additional components— a learnable Spatial Alignment Module and a Causal Temporal Aggregator— enhance control precision, spatial alignment, and temporal stability, reducing motion blur and ensuring realistic, consistent outputs.

GeoRoute: Geometry-Aware Hybrid Inference for Traffic Future-Frame Prediction

Long-horizon future-frame prediction is important for autonomous driving, traffic surveillance, and intelligent transportation systems, yet remains challenging due to temporal ghosting, geometry drift, and inconsistent object motion. Recent latent video diffusion models have achieved impressive visual quality, but directly applying them to structured traffic scenes often leads to unstable geometry and degraded temporal coherence over extended horizons.

SV-WAM: An Efficient Surround-View World-Action Model for End-to-End Autonomous Driving

SV-WAM is a surround‑view world‑action model that keeps all six camera views for autonomous driving while enabling efficient inference by discarding the video branch during deployment. It uses future‑video prediction as dense training supervision and introduces an action‑centered causal mask to prevent future‑video tokens from influencing action tokens during joint denoising. A differentiable drivable‑area compliance regularizer further improves safety by penalizing vehicle‑footprint corners that approach or cross drivable boundaries. Experiments on NAVSIMv2 and nuScenes show state‑of‑the‑art planning performance with low latency and strong zero‑shot transfer.

From Evaluation to Enhancement: Benchmarking and Improving Think-with-Video Reasoning for Video Generative Models

The paper introduces VWG-Bench, a benchmark covering nine reasoning dimensions and 38 tasks to evaluate video generative models on symbolic reasoning, physical laws, and goal pursuit. It also presents Vid-PRE, a prompt-rewriting framework that offloads reasoning to a VLM, improving logical performance without changing the generator architecture. Experiments show that current models excel at visual quality but struggle with logic-heavy tasks, while Vid-PRE significantly boosts reasoning across multiple generators.

VideoTIR: Accurate Understanding for Long Videos with Efficient Tool-Integrated Reasoning

VideoTIR introduces a reinforcement‑learning approach to improve long‑video understanding by encouraging multimodal large language models to use comprehensive multi‑level toolkits efficiently. It combines Zero‑RL and SFT cold‑starting strategies to help models retrieve and focus on meaningful video segments, images, and regions, thereby reducing hallucinations. The method includes Toolkit Action Grouped Policy Optimization (TAGPO) to streamline tool‑calling and a sandbox‑based trajectory synthesis framework for high‑quality data, achieving strong results on three long‑video QA benchmarks.

SV-WAM: An Efficient Surround-View World-Action Model for End-to-End Autonomous Driving

SV-WAM is a surround‑view world‑action model that keeps all six camera views while enabling efficient inference by discarding the video branch at deployment. It uses future‑video prediction as dense training supervision and an action‑centered causal mask to prevent action tokens from attending to future‑video tokens during joint denoising. A differentiable drivable‑area compliance regularizer penalizes vehicle‑footprint corners near or crossing drivable boundaries, improving safety and boundary awareness. Experiments on NAVSIMv2 and nuScenes show state‑of‑the‑art planning performance with low latency and strong zero‑shot transfer.

SimVTA: Simulation-Grounded Video-Trajectory Alignment for Driving World Action Models

SimVTA is a post‑training framework that enhances driving world action models by aligning simulated future videos with candidate trajectories. It samples trajectories, renders high‑reward futures in a real‑world simulator using 3D Gaussian Splatting, and prioritizes video supervision for high‑error futures. The approach improves planning performance, raising PDMS from 86.2 to 91.3 on NAVSIM v1 and achieving strong results on NAVSIM v2 and HUGSIM.
