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…
The Case for Negative Data: From Crash Reports to Counterfactuals for Reasonable Driving
Jay Patrikar, Apoorva Sharma, Sushant Veer +3
Learning-based autonomous driving systems are trained mostly on incident-free data, offering little guidance near safety-performance boundaries. Real crash reports contain precisel…
Sim2Val: Leveraging Correlation Across Test Platforms for Variance-Reduced Metric Estimation
Rachel Luo, Heng Yang, Michael Watson +4
Learning-based robotic systems demand rigorous validation to assure reliable performance, but extensive real-world testing is often prohibitively expensive, and if conducted may st…
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…
Online Aggregation of Trajectory Predictors
Alex Tong, Apoorva Sharma, Sushant Veer +2
Trajectory prediction, the task of forecasting future agent behavior from past data, is central to safe and efficient autonomous driving. A diverse set of methods (e.g., rule-based…
System-Level Safety Monitoring and Recovery for Perception Failures in Autonomous Vehicles
Kaustav Chakraborty, Zeyuan Feng, Sushant Veer +4
The safety-critical nature of autonomous vehicle (AV) operation necessitates development of task-relevant algorithms that can reason about safety at the system level and not just a…
