Frozen perception foundation models encode rich geometric, semantic, and dynamic knowledge. Yet narrow conditioning interfaces may attenuate task-relevant cues, while static fusion cannot adjust expert contributions to each scene.
arXiv:2606. 29879v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) provide powerful semantic understanding and commonsense reasoning for End-to-End Autonomous Driving (E2E-AD) planning.
arXiv:2607. 05468v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World Action Models (WAMs) have shown strong potential for robotic manipulation by jointly modeling visual future dynamics and executable action sequences.
arXiv:2608. 07267v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent vision-language navigation (VLN) systems increasingly adapt pretrained vision-language models (VLMs) into vision-language-action (VLA) policies that map egocentric observations and language instructions directly to navigation actions.
arXiv:2606. 09811v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World-action models have emerged as a promising paradigm for robot manipulation, jointly modeling visual scene dynamics and actions to inject physical priors into policy learning.
Autonomous driving requires planning under both semantic constraints and predictive dynamics. Existing end-to-end driving approaches, however, typically emphasize only one side of this requirement: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models exploit VLM priors for semantic reasoning, while World Action Models (WAMs) provide future-aware prediction through generative world modeling.
arXiv:2606. 06219v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: End-to-end autonomous driving models often struggle to balance multi-modal maneuver generation with real-time inference constraints.
