Planning-aligned Token Compression for Long-Context Autonomous Driving

Zhixuan Liang, Yuxiao Chen, Yurong You +12

Monolithic vision-action models represent an emerging paradigm in autonomous driving. However, this architecture produces token sequences that quickly exceed real-time computationa…

Accelerating Structured Chain-of-Thought in Autonomous Vehicles

Yi Gu, Yan Wang, Yuxiao Chen +8

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning enhances the decision-making capabilities of vision-language-action models in autonomous driving, but its autoregressive nature introduces signific…

Alpamayo-R1: Bridging Reasoning and Action Prediction for Generalizable Autonomous Driving in the Long Tail

NVIDIA, :, Yan Wang +41

End-to-end architectures trained via imitation learning have advanced autonomous driving by scaling model size and data, yet performance remains brittle in safety-critical long-tai…

Counterfactual VLA: Self-Reflective Vision-Language-Action Model with Adaptive Reasoning

Zhenghao "Mark" Peng, Wenhao Ding, Yurong You +11

Recent reasoning-augmented Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have improved the interpretability of end-to-end autonomous driving by generating intermediate reasoning traces. Yet…

Trends in Motion Prediction Toward Deployable and Generalizable Autonomy: A Revisit and Perspectives

Letian Wang, Marc-Antoine Lavoie, Sandro Papais +13

Motion prediction, recently popularized as world models, refers to the anticipation of future agent states or scene evolution, which is rooted in human cognition, bridging percepti…

Safety Evaluation of Motion Plans Using Trajectory Predictors as Forward Reachable Set Estimators

Kaustav Chakraborty, Zeyuan Feng, Sushant Veer +6

The advent of end-to-end autonomy stacks - often lacking interpretable intermediate modules - has placed an increased burden on ensuring that the final output, i.e., the motion pla…
