DriveLaW:Unifying Planning and Video Generation in a Latent Driving World

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2512.23421v3 Announce Type: replace World models have become crucial for autonomous driving, as they learn how scenarios evolve over time to address the long-tail challenges of the real world. However, current approaches relegate world models to limited roles: they operate within ostensibly unified architectures that still keep world prediction and motion planning as decoupled processes. To bridge this gap, we propose DriveLaW, a novel paradigm that unifies video generation and motion planning.
