Adaptive Time Step Flow Matching for Autonomous Driving Motion Planning

Ananya Trivedi, Anjian Li, Mohamed Elnoor +7

Autonomous driving requires reasoning about interactions with surrounding traffic. A prevailing approach is large-scale imitation learning on expert driving datasets, aimed at gene…
