A latent world model named Auto-JEPA from Tsinghua University predicts continuous future ego-motion intent for end-to-end autonomous driving. The system facilitates trajectory retrieval and selection by selectively attending to planning-relevant dynamic agents, achieving a 91.3 PDMS on NAVSIM v1 and 89.1 EPDMS on NAVSIM v2.

Key insights

  • High-quality planning can be achieved without dense future-world modeling by focusing on predicting a compact, continuous future ego-trajectory latent.
  • The predicted future ego-trajectory latent can directly serve as a planner's retrieval key, demonstrating a novel operational role for predicted latents in real-time inference.
  • The system implicitly learns to selectively attend to dynamic agents critical for planning decisions without explicit object-level annotations or interaction labels.
