WorldRFT: Latent World Model Planning with Reinforcement Fine-Tuning for Autonomous Driving

AAAI 2026technical

Latent World Models enhance scene representation through temporal self-supervised learning, presenting a perception annotation-free paradigm for end-to-end autonomous driving. However, the reconstruction-oriented representation learning tangles perception with planning tasks, leading to suboptimal o
