Traffic microsimulators rely on hand-crafted behavior models that reproduce aggregate flow but miss the heterogeneous interactions between vehicles at signalized intersections. Learned trajectory predictors capture richer interactions but are short-horizon and tend to be unstable when run in closed loop.
Dynamic-scene reconstruction is almost always evaluated inside the observed time window, yet deployment settings such as AR overlays, robot interaction, and anticipatory planning need the future surface: the geometry at times beyond those captured. No standard benchmark measures this.

High-quality driving data are essential for autonomous-driving systems and generative world models. However, rare and safety-critical scenarios involving adverse weather, braking under low tire--road friction, and uneven road geometry are costly and risky to collect at scale.
DrivingBench is the first benchmark that tests general‑purpose vision‑language models on the task of driving a real Toyota Corolla around a parking‑lot cone course. The models receive live camera frames and issue steering and velocity commands, with inference latency counted as part of the challenge. In tests, only GPT‑6 Astra completed the course, while other models showed limited progress or failed to pass half the course.
