arXiv:2607. 09629v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reliable autonomous driving requires full-scene perception that couples foreground objects with dense semantic layout.
Autonomous driving requires long-horizon closedloop decision making in dynamic traffic environments. Latent world models offer an effective framework for this problem by enabling imagination-based decision making in compact latent spaces.
The action space poses a major challenge in robot learning, since it is often high-dimensional, can span long time horizons, and frequently admits multi-modal optimal solutions. A good choice of action representation and loss function can help to address these concerns, but there are often trade offs.
