A Survey on End-to-End Autonomous Driving Training from the Perspectives of Data, Strategy, and Platform

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.

OPTED: On-Policy Fine-Tuning for End-to-End Driving using a Render-Free Teacher

OPTED is a method for on‑policy fine‑tuning of end‑to‑end driving models that separates reinforcement learning from the policy update. A privileged teacher trained with RL on vectorized inputs (HD‑maps and bounding boxes) supervises the pre‑trained student during closed‑loop post‑training. Applied to the camera‑based models TransFuser and VaVAM in AlpaSim, OPTED boosts driving scores by 1.6× and 9.5×, respectively, while requiring roughly three orders of magnitude fewer simulator interactions than direct RL post‑training.
