arXiv:2608. 11605v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World Action Models (WAMs) couple future visual prediction with robot action generation, enabling policies to model how the physical world evolves during interaction.

DA‑WAM is a framework that integrates predictive representation learning, action‑conditioned future modeling, and trajectory scoring into a single decision‑making objective for autonomous driving. It uses an online encoder with a stable momentum target to keep future representations aligned with the driving task, generating a distinct future latent for each trajectory candidate. A future‑latent‑conditioned scorer evaluates these latents, with expert‑matched trajectories supervised by observed futures and safety‑critical hard negatives providing additional guidance, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on NAVSIM‑v1 and NAVSIM‑v2.

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.
