Infrastructure-Centric World Models: Bridging Temporal Depth and Spatial Breadth for Roadside Perception

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.17651v1 Announce Type: new World models, generative AI systems that simulate how environments evolve, are transforming autonomous driving, yet all existing approaches adopt an ego-vehicle perspective, leaving the infrastructure viewpoint unexplored. We argue that infrastructure-centric world models offer a fundamentally complementary capability: the bird's-eye, multi-sensor, persistent viewpoint that roadside systems uniquely possess.
