HENet++: Hybrid Encoding and Multi-task Learning for 3D Perception and End-to-end Autonomous Driving

HENet++ is a unified framework that combines a hybrid image encoding strategy—using a large encoder for short‑term frames and a lightweight encoder for long‑term temporal context—to balance accuracy and efficiency in 3D perception for autonomous driving. It jointly extracts dense background and sparse foreground features, enabling task‑specific representations that reduce cumulative errors and enrich downstream prediction and planning modules. The approach supports diverse 3D feature extraction pipelines, multi‑modal inputs (camera and radar), and achieves state‑of‑the‑art results on nuScenes and NAVSIM benchmarks, including the lowest collision rate on nuScenes planning.

MATS: A novel multi-modality multi-task learning framework for 3D perception in autonomous driving

Multi-modality data from different sensors provides rich complementary information for 3D perception, becoming an essential component in reliable autonomous driving systems. Current research typically designs intricate and complex fusion strategies to integrate information from multimodal data on a unified bird's-eye-view (BEV) feature map for the joint learning of multiple perception tasks.

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.

Continuous Actions from Discrete Minds: Latent-Aligned Planning for End-to-End Autonomous Driving

The paper introduces LaPla, a Vision‑Language‑Action framework that uses a latent‑aligned planning approach to convert discrete semantic reasoning into continuous, physics‑constrained driving actions. It employs a residual VQ‑VAE to encode vehicle kinematics into a structured latent space, then projects multimodal inputs—images, past actions, and text—directly into this latent space, allowing a frozen decoder to generate physically plausible trajectories without quantization errors. Experiments on nuScenes and NVIDIA AlpaSim show LaPla reduces long‑horizon L2 error by 15.52% and improves closed‑loop success rates by 33.34 percentage points while cutting inference latency.

DeepIPCv3: Event-Aware Multi-Modal Sensor Fusion for Sudden Pedestrian Crossing Avoidance

arXiv:2606. 01277v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current end-to-end autonomous driving systems predominantly rely on frame-based sensors, which suffer from inherent perception latency and motion blur during highly dynamic encounters, specifically sudden pedestrian crossings.

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.
