arXiv:2607. 15621v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models bring instruction following and scene reasoning to end-to-end driving, but their inference latency collides with the control rate a vehicle requires.

GlanceWAM: Sparse Test-Time Imagination for World-Action Models

GlanceWAM introduces a sparse test‑time imagination approach for world‑action models that decouples visual imagination from control. By asynchronously generating a single lookahead frame on a slow clock and decoding action chunks at a 48 ms control rate purely in latent space, it avoids latency while maintaining high success. The method achieves 72.2 % on the RoboCasa kitchen benchmark and 99.0 % on LIBERO, running 24× faster than synchronous baselines.

DrivingBench: Can Vision-Language Models Drive a Toyota Corolla?

DrivingBench is the first benchmark that tests general‑purpose vision‑language models on the task of driving a real Toyota Corolla around a parking‑lot cone course. The models receive live camera frames and issue steering and velocity commands, with inference latency counted as part of the challenge. In tests, only GPT‑6 Astra completed the course, while other models showed limited progress or failed to pass half the course.
