arXiv:2606. 06014v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latent world models (LWMs) have strengthened end-to-end autonomous driving by forecasting compact scene dynamics for downstream planning.
The paper presents a comparative study of motion planning methods from major autonomous driving benchmarks—CARLA, nuPlan, and the Waymo Open Dataset—using CARLA Leaderboard v2.1 as a unified evaluation platform. Eight representative planners (TF++, InterFuser, TCP, PDM‑Lite, MTR+MPC, CaRL, PlanT 2.0, Diffusion planner) are evaluated to highlight their strengths, weaknesses, prevailing trends, and common challenges in motion planning research.
arXiv:2607. 03182v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous driving planning requires translating navigation intent, traffic rules, dynamic interactions, and language instructions into executable continuous trajectories.
DiffuSearch is a hybrid trajectory planner for autonomous driving that unifies objectives across both generation and refinement stages. It first uses a guided diffusion model to produce scene-consistent joint trajectories, then refines them with a Monte Carlo Tree Search that shares the same driving goals—collision avoidance, drivable area compliance, comfort, and progress. Experiments on nuPlan and interPlan benchmarks show that this synergy reduces collisions and improves comfort, especially in complex interactive scenarios.

arXiv:2606. 31106v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large-scale datasets and fast simulators have enabled improvements in driving policies that appear safe and robust, yet strong performance in nominal scenarios can still mask flawed reasoning and unsafe heuristics.
