Researchers have developed CRISP, a novel spatiotemporal backbone designed for autonomous driving that fuses camera and radar data. Unlike previous models that require task-specific supervision, CRISP is pretrained using a forecasting-based approach, predicting future LiDAR point clouds from historical sensor inputs. This method allows the model to learn reusable representations without needing LiDAR during deployment, relying solely on camera and radar. Experiments on the nuScenes dataset demonstrate CRISP's effectiveness in improving forecasting accuracy and its strong transferability to various downstream driving tasks, including detection, tracking, and planning.
