KnowVal: A Knowledge-Augmented and Value-Guided Autonomous Driving System

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2512.20299v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Visual-language reasoning, driving knowledge, and value alignment are essential for advanced autonomous driving systems. However, existing approaches largely rely on data-driven learning, making it difficult to capture the complex logic underlying decision-making through imitation or limited reinforcement rewards. To address this, we propose KnowVal, a new autonomous driving system that enables visual-language reasoning through the synergistic integration of open-world perception and knowledge retrieval.
