Recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown strong potential for autonomous driving scene understanding, yet existing methods still face a fundamental trade-off between temporal reasoning and spatial precision. Models that rely on single-frame or low-resolution inputs often miss small, distant, or partially occluded hazards, while language-centric driving models frequently provide limited grounded evidence for their explanations.

The paper introduces an automated pipeline that converts non‑critical driving scenes into safety‑critical scenarios by integrating computer vision, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Augmented Reality (AR). It detects and tracks road users, extracts safety features such as distance, velocity, motion direction, and Time‑to‑Collision (TTC), and evaluates scene criticality. Safe scenes are then modified by an LLM, which generates realistic collision‑inducing objects and behaviors that are overlaid onto the original scene using AR, achieving 97.52% safety classification accuracy on the nuScenes dataset and producing realistic scenarios like pedestrian crossings, rear overtaking vehicles, and sudden‑stop events.
arXiv:2512. 05277v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly deployed as the perception and reasoning backbone of autonomous agents acting in the wild, with autonomous driving (AD) being one of the most safety-critical instances.
arXiv:2510. 03314v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Ensuring the safety of vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as pedestrians and cyclists, remains a critical challenge, as conventional infrastructure-based measures are often insufficient in dynamic urban environments.
HERMES is a holistic end‑to‑end multimodal driving framework that incorporates long‑tail semantic knowledge into trajectory planning for autonomous vehicles. It uses a foundation‑model‑assisted annotation pipeline to build Long‑Tail Scene Context and Long‑Tail Planning Context, capturing hazard‑centric scene information, maneuver intent, and risk‑aware guidance. A Tri‑Modal Driving Module then fuses multi‑view visual observations, historical ego‑motion, and long‑tail semantic instructions to generate intent‑ and risk‑aware trajectories, achieving consistent performance gains on a large‑scale real‑world long‑tail driving benchmark.
