World Model-Based End-to-End Scene Generation for Accident Anticipation in Autonomous Driving

arXiv 25.7 2025 53.5 method, application

TLDR

Proposes world model-based video generation and temporal reasoning to improve accident anticipation in autonomous driving, with a new benchmark dataset.

Reasoning

The paper addresses data scarcity and object-level cue absence by combining a world model for generative scene augmentation with adaptive temporal reasoning, and releases a new benchmark. Strengths include a clear problem motivation and empirical validation on public and new datasets; weaknesses are limited architectural details of the world model and lack of comparison to other world model approaches.

Deep Analysis

Innovations

  • Generative scene augmentation using a world model guided by domain-informed prompts to create high-resolution, statistically consistent driving scenarios, enriching edge cases and complex interactions.
  • Dynamic prediction model with strengthened graph convolutions and dilated temporal operators to encode spatio-temporal relationships, addressing data incompleteness and transient visual noise.
  • Release of a new benchmark dataset designed to capture diverse real-world driving risks.

Methodology

The framework combines a video generation pipeline that leverages a world model with domain-informed prompts to produce high-resolution driving scenarios, and a dynamic prediction model that uses strengthened graph convolutions and dilated temporal operators for spatio-temporal encoding. Experiments are conducted on public and newly released datasets, evaluating accuracy and lead time of accident anticipation.

Key Results

Extensive experiments on public and newly released datasets demonstrate that the framework enhances both the accuracy and lead time of accident anticipation, offering a robust solution to current data and modeling limitations.
