The paper introduces a layered evaluation protocol for generative scenario models used in autonomous driving, focusing on physical consistency and plausibility. It examines internal representations through kinematic alignment, statistical baseline comparison, latent controllability, and activation analysis, and then tests outputs against vehicle dynamics constraints such as lateral jerk thresholds. The protocol is applied to a VAE-based scenario generator and other generative models, revealing deeper insights than standard output-level metrics.

DGCPath is a Distribution‑Aware Generative Contrastive framework designed for self‑supervised path representation learning. It combines a diffusion‑based view generator, a variational contrastive mechanism that aligns latent features at the distribution level, and a generative cross‑supervision module for view‑level consistency. Experiments on three real‑world trajectory datasets show that DGCPath surpasses state‑of‑the‑art baselines on two downstream tasks, indicating stronger generalization and representation effectiveness.

DriveWLA is a unified World‑Language‑Action model that integrates semantic understanding, future scene dynamics, and trajectory generation for autonomous driving. It employs a Mixture‑of‑Transformers architecture with three experts—World, Language, and Action—connected by Cross‑Expert Attention to align semantic and dynamic representations. After reinforcement learning refinement, DriveWLA outperforms existing VLM‑based and world‑model‑based planners on NAVSIM benchmarks and generalizes well to other datasets without fine‑tuning.
As autonomous vehicle capabilities advance, the safe evaluation of driving policies in long-tail scenarios remains a critical bottleneck. In closed-loop simulation, the driving policy model actively interacts with the environment, where its actions dynamically update the simulator state and directly influence the next set of generated sensor observations.
ForeDrive introduces a planning-relevant latent world model that is asymmetrically coupled to a Diffusion Transformer planner. The model learns multi‑horizon latent futures with a JEPA‑style world model, while planning gradients update the shared encoder and stop‑gradient routing trains the predictor with forecasting losses only. Gated visual fusion, future‑status injection, and Trajectory‑Adaptive Bias are used to guide trajectory generation without overriding current observations, achieving high performance on NAVSIM benchmarks using only front‑view images and pure imitation learning.
