Terra ACT-Bench: Towards Action Controllable World Models for Autonomous Driving
TLDR
An open-source benchmark and baseline model for evaluating action fidelity in world models for autonomous driving.
Reasoning
The paper addresses a clear gap in evaluating action controllability of world models, providing an open-access framework and baseline. Its strength lies in reproducibility and focus on action fidelity, but it is limited to the autonomous driving domain and does not cover other aspects of world model evaluation.

Innovations
- Open-access evaluation framework ACT-Bench for quantifying action fidelity in world models for autonomous driving
- Baseline world model Terra trained on multiple large-scale trajectory-annotated datasets to improve action fidelity
- Large-scale dataset pairing short context videos from nuScenes with corresponding future trajectory data for action fidelity evaluation
Methodology
The paper proposes ACT-Bench, an open-access evaluation framework that includes a dataset pairing short context videos from nuScenes with future trajectory data. This dataset serves as conditional input for generating future video frames and enables quantitative evaluation of action fidelity. Additionally, a baseline world model, Terra, is trained on multiple large-scale trajectory-annotated datasets to enhance adherence to action instructions. The framework is used to compare Terra against state-of-the-art models.
Key Results
The state-of-the-art model does not fully adhere to given action instructions, while Terra achieves improved action fidelity.
