arXiv:2606. 02956v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing autonomous driving datasets have enabled major progress, but fall short in sensor fidelity, map completeness, or geographic diversity.
arXiv:2607. 00710v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Well-designed autonomous driving datasets have fundamentally shaped research progress, yet existing literature primarily describes what datasets contain rather than how to strategically design impactful ones.
The paper introduces a plug‑and‑play method that injects traffic‑element signals—such as traffic lights and road signs—into end‑to‑end autonomous driving models with minimal architectural changes. By augmenting several public datasets with comprehensive traffic‑element annotations, the authors evaluate this integration across diverse driving paradigms, consistently improving performance on nuScenes, NAVSIM‑v1, NAVSIM‑v2, and Bench2Drive. The approach achieves a new state‑of‑the‑art result on the challenging NAVSIM‑v2 benchmark, demonstrating the broad utility of traffic‑element awareness.
The paper reviews end‑to‑end autonomous driving (E2E‑AD) training, framing it as a Data‑Strategy‑Platform system. It surveys recent advances in data pipelines, learning paradigms, and training infrastructures, and discusses how these layers interact to influence model performance, robustness, and deployability. The authors highlight current limitations and propose a future vision that prioritizes data value, foundation‑driven generalization, and integrated training‑testing loops for more robust, scalable, and trustworthy autonomous driving systems.
