Probing Multimodal LLMs As World Models for Driving

ICRA 2026poster

We provide a sober look at the application of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) in autonomous driving, challenging common assumptions about their ability to interpret dynamic driving scenarios. Despite advances in models like GPT-4o, their performance in complex driving environments remains l…

Compress to Impress: Efficient LLM Adaptation Using a Single Gradient Step on 100 Samples

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

Recently, Sharma et al. (2024) suggested a method called LAyer- SElective-Rank reduction (LASER) which demonstrated that pruning high‑order components of carefully chosen LLM’s weight matrices can boost downstream accuracy—without any gradient‑based fine‑tuning. Yet LASER’s exhaustive, per‑matrix se…

Generating Out-of-Distribution Scenarios Using Language Models

ICRA 2025

The deployment of autonomous vehicles controlled by machine learning techniques requires extensive testing in diverse real-world environments, robust handling of edge cases and out-of-distribution scenarios, and comprehensive safety validation to ensure that these systems can navigate safely and eff

Infrastructure-based End-to-End Learning and Prevention of Driver Failure

ICRA 2023poster

Intelligent intersection managers can improve safety by detecting dangerous drivers or failure modes in autonomous vehicles, warning oncoming vehicles as they approach an intersection. In this work, we present FailureNet, a recurrent neural network trained end-to-end on trajectories of both nominal…
