The deployment of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) in autonomous driving (AD) systems is constrained by on-board computing power, restricting vehicles to small VLMs (SVLMs) with limited perception and reasoning capabilities. Infrastructure-assisted AD alleviates this resource constraint by enabling collaboration with large VLMs (LVLMs) at edge servers.

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models promise to bring end-to-end reasoning to autonomous driving, but their computational cost remains far too high for real-time control. The core challenge is structural: VLA inference is not a single bottleneck but a cascade of four.

arXiv:2607. 24692v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inference systems increasingly combine a fast path that returns predictions within the application's latency deadline together with a higher-accuracy slow path that runs higher-compute methods on stronger, remote hardware, so its results can be returned on time and combined with the fast path predictions.
