arXiv:2606.06014v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latent world models (LWMs) have strengthened end-to-end autonomous driving by forecasting compact scene dynamics for downstream planning. However, existing LWM-based planners usually generate trajectories directly from entangled latent representations. This compact latent-to-planner pathway lacks explicit modeling of risk, drivability, and diverse style preferences, making driving-style dynamics difficult to supervise, inspect, or modulate before a final trajectory is selected. We propose PLAN-S (PLANning with latent Style dynamics), a planner-fa
The continuous advancements in AI and robotics, coupled with increasing demand for safer and more adaptable autonomous systems, drive the development of sophisticated planning models.
This research advances autonomous driving by enabling more nuanced, interpretable, and controllable AI systems, directly addressing limitations of existing end-to-end models.
Autonomous driving systems can now incorporate explicit modeling of risk, drivability, and diverse style preferences, moving beyond monolithic latent representations.
