A knowledge-augmented dataset of high-risk driving scenarios with LLM annotations for autonomous driving

Safe autonomous driving requires both rapid responses to common high-risk events and deeper reasoning over rare, extreme long-tail scenarios in traffic safety. These scenarios are severely under-represented in naturalistic driving data, and existing trajectory and language-augmented datasets seldom provide high-risk event labels, semantic annotations, and verifiable safety signals.

hia-gat: A Heterogeneous Interaction-Aware Graph Attention Network For Frame-Level Traffic Conflict Risk Prediction On Freeways

arXiv:2606. 27577v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper formulates frame-level freeway risk assessment as a multi-agent scene graph-level binary classification problem, where each video or trajectory frame is labeled risky if any TTC- or PET-based conflict violates a specified severity threshold.

Deconfounded Lifelong Learning for Autonomous Driving via Dynamic Knowledge Spaces

arXiv:2603. 14354v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: End-to-End autonomous driving (E2E-AD) systems face challenges in lifelong learning, including catastrophic forgetting, difficulty in knowledge transfer across diverse scenarios, and spurious correlations between unobservable confounders and true driving intents.

DriveJudge: Rethinking Autonomous Driving Evaluation with Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2606. 17362v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous driving has shifted towards end-to-end policy learning, where reliable, interpretable policy evaluation is a fundamental challenge as driving quality is highly context-dependent.

What Probing Reveals about Autonomous Driving: Linking Internal Prediction Errors to Ego Planning

arXiv:2606. 31106v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large-scale datasets and fast simulators have enabled improvements in driving policies that appear safe and robust, yet strong performance in nominal scenarios can still mask flawed reasoning and unsafe heuristics.
