RAD-LAD: Rule and Language Grounded Autonomous Driving in Real-Time

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2603.28522v1 Announce Type: cross We present LAD, a real-time language--action planner with an interruptible architecture that produces a motion plan in a single forward pass (~20 Hz) or generates textual reasoning alongside a motion plan (~10 Hz). LAD is fast enough for real-time closed-loop deployment, achieving ~3x lower latency than prior driving language models while setting a new learning-based state of the art on nuPlan Test14-Hard and InterPlan. We also
