Mind the Privileged-to-Camera Gap: Actor-Centric Sidecar Supervision for Camera-First Open-Loop Waypoint Prediction

Feeza Khan Khanzada, Jaerock Kwon

Camera-first autonomous-driving models predict future ego waypoints from images, ego-state features, and route commands, but waypoint supervision alone does not explicitly supervis…

Dreaming Across Towns: Semantic Rollout and Town-Adversarial Regularization for Zero-Shot Held-Out-Town Fixed-Route Driving in CARLA

Feeza Khan Khanzada, Jaerock Kwon

Driving agents trained in one simulated town often perform poorly in a new town because the road shapes, intersections, and lane layouts can be different. This paper studies how to…

InDRiVE: Reward-Free World-Model Pretraining for Autonomous Driving via Latent Disagreement

Feeza Khan Khanzada, Jaerock Kwon

Model-based reinforcement learning (MBRL) can reduce interaction cost for autonomous driving by learning a predictive world model, but it typically still depends on task-specific r…

Driving Beyond Privilege: Distilling Dense-Reward Knowledge into Sparse-Reward Policies

Feeza Khan Khanzada, Jaerock Kwon

We study how to exploit dense simulator-defined rewards in vision-based autonomous driving without inheriting their misalignment with deployment metrics. In realistic simulators su…

A Comprehensive Review of Reinforcement Learning for Autonomous Driving in the CARLA Simulator

Elahe Delavari, Feeza Khan Khanzada, Jaerock Kwon

Autonomous-driving research has recently embraced deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) as a promising framework for data-driven decision making, yet a clear picture of how these algori…

Action Space Reduction Strategies for Reinforcement Learning in Autonomous Driving

Elahe Delavari, Feeza Khan Khanzada, Jaerock Kwon

Reinforcement Learning (RL) offers a promising framework for autonomous driving by enabling agents to learn control policies through interaction with environments. However, large a…
