RoadOcc is a new method for roadside occupancy prediction that learns to route information among three memory sources: Persist (fixed-coordinate history), Transport (velocity-addressed history), and Refresh (current evidence). It employs dynamic-aware cross‑attention, multi‑scale voxel velocity estimation, and velocity‑guided dynamic sparse fusion to combine these sources efficiently. On the InfraOcc dataset, RoadOcc achieves 65.29 mIoU and 32.37 dynamic mIoU, outperforming the previous STCOcc baseline by significant margins.

Driving video generation models support autonomous-driving development by predicting controllable future scenes for simulation, planning evaluation, and offline data generation. Diffusion-based driving generators repeatedly evaluate large backbones across denoising steps, which limits generation throughput.

S2Planner is a trajectory planner for autonomous driving that fuses data from three front-facing cameras, ego‑motion history, and the current driving command. It uses a fine‑tuned DINOv3 backbone with a Spatial Tuning Adapter to generate multi‑scale image features, which are refined by a coarse‑to‑fine decoder employing trajectory self‑attention and camera‑projected cross‑attention. The key contribution lies in integrating ego‑conditioned trajectory initialization with iterative, geometry‑guided sampling of multi‑scale image features, rather than introducing a new visual backbone or attention operator.

LayerRecall is a memory router for autoregressive video diffusion that selectively retrieves and injects historical key/value states into specific layers of the model, based on the current context. It addresses the problem that existing memory mechanisms expose nonlocal history but do not guarantee effective use, by recognizing that different layers prefer current, recent, or distant context. The method, combined with Cross‑Horizon Prediction Matching, achieves state‑of‑the‑art long‑range consistency on MemoBench and MovieBench while maintaining local continuity and incurring negligible inference overhead.
