Is Energy Guidance All You Need? Training-Free Norm Injection for Driving World Models
Xiyan Su, Frank Diermeyer, Markus Lienkamp
Driving world models built on large video-diffusion backbones generate realistic scenes but are hard to control: enforcing a traffic norm typically means retraining the backbone or…
Towards a Joint Understanding of Remote Operation for Vehicles in Public Road Traffic
Elisabeth Shi, Maria-Magdalena Wolf, Nina Theobald +9
Sustained driving automation systems are envisioned to be used as the foundation for driverless mobility services. However, both researchers and practitioners acknowledge that curr…
Driving Through the Network: Performance and Workload Under Latency and Video Impairment
Ines Trautmannsheimer, Ahmed Azab, Frank Diermeyer
Teleoperation promises to extend the operational envelope of automated vehicles, yet it critically depends on network latency and video quality. We report a fixed-base driving-simu…
Beyond VMAF: Towards Application-Specific Metrics for Teleoperation Video
Ines Trautmannsheimer, Richard Grauberger, Frank Diermeyer
Automated driving has made remarkable progress, yet situations still arise where human intervention is necessary. Teleoperation provides a scalable solution to address such cases,…
Belief-Space Residual Risk for Automated Driving under Localization Uncertainty
Nijinshan Karunainayagam, Nils Gehrke, Frank Diermeyer
Residual risk metrics have recently been introduced to assess the safety implications of automated driving systems. Existing approaches typically assume a deterministic ego pose an…
Human-Aided Trajectory Planning for Automated Vehicles through Teleoperation and Arbitration Graphs
Nick Le Large, David Brecht, Willi Poh +3
Teleoperation enables remote human support of automated vehicles in scenarios where the automation is not able to find an appropriate solution. Remote assistance concepts, where op…
