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.

CrashDiffuser is a closed-loop VLM‑guided diffusion framework designed for fine‑grained safety‑critical traffic scenario generation. It separates semantic collision reasoning from trajectory synthesis via a hierarchical collision‑intent interface that specifies target contact regions (head, rear, or side). The system uses a vision‑language model to extract scene context and predict structured action tuples, which condition a diffusion model to produce executable adversarial trajectories, achieving high target‑collision and contact‑region control rates on WOMD‑derived scenarios.
