HorizonComposer is a new instruction‑guided video editing framework that preserves traffic semantics in driving videos. It uses a hybrid dataset of real and synthetic edits, applies advantage conditioning with dense pixel‑level rewards during training, and introduces thinking frames to reduce temporal shock. Experiments show state‑of‑the‑art spatiotemporal consistency, improved content preservation, and gains in downstream road line segmentation and multi‑object detection.

SimVTA is a post‑training framework that enhances driving world action models by aligning simulated future videos with candidate trajectories. It samples trajectories, renders high‑reward futures in a real‑world simulator using 3D Gaussian Splatting, and prioritizes video supervision for high‑error futures. The approach improves planning performance, raising PDMS from 86.2 to 91.3 on NAVSIM v1 and achieving strong results on NAVSIM v2 and HUGSIM.
