End-to-End Driving with Online Trajectory Evaluation via BEV World Model
TLDR
Proposes WoTE, an end-to-end driving framework using a BEV world model for online trajectory evaluation, achieving SOTA on simulated benchmarks.
Reasoning
The paper introduces a novel BEV world model for trajectory evaluation, demonstrating latency efficiency and strong performance on NAVSIM and Bench2Drive benchmarks. However, it lacks real-world validation and does not address generative or interactive aspects explicitly.

Innovations
- Proposes WoTE, an end-to-end driving framework that leverages a BEV world model for online trajectory evaluation
- BEV world model is latency-efficient compared to image-level world models
- Seamless supervision using off-the-shelf BEV-space traffic simulators
Methodology
WoTE uses a BEV world model to predict future BEV states for trajectory evaluation within an end-to-end differentiable framework. The model is trained with supervision from BEV-space traffic simulators and evaluated on NAVSIM and closed-loop Bench2Drive benchmarks.
Key Results
Achieves state-of-the-art performance on both the NAVSIM benchmark and the closed-loop Bench2Drive benchmark based on the CARLA simulator.
