Imagined Rollouts are Kinematic, Not Dynamic: A Diagnosis of Long-Horizon World-Model Failure
Finn Rasmus Schäfer, Korbinian Moller, Yuan Gao +3
Long-horizon failure in world models is conventionally attributed to compounding error, a generic framing that does not distinguish what kind of error compounds. We propose a kinem…
EgoDyn-Bench: Evaluating Ego-Motion Understanding in Vision-Centric Foundation Models for Autonomous Driving
Finn Rasmus Schäfer, Yuan Gao, Dingrui Wang +5
While Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have advanced high-level reasoning in autonomous driving, their ability to ground this reasoning in the underlying physics of ego-motion remains…
StyleVLA: Driving Style-Aware Vision Language Action Model for Autonomous Driving
Yuan Gao, Dengyuan Hua, Mattia Piccinini +4
Vision Language Models (VLMs) bridge visual perception and linguistic reasoning. In Autonomous Driving (AD), this synergy has enabled Vision Language Action (VLA) models, which tra…
Target-Bench: Can Video World Models Achieve Mapless Path Planning with Semantic Targets?
Dingrui Wang, Zhihao Liang, Hongyuan Ye +13
While recent video world models can generate highly realistic videos, their ability to perform semantic reasoning and planning remains unclear and unquantified. We introduce Target…
