New DSBench benchmark reveals safety risks in vision-language models for autonomous driving

Researchers have introduced DSBench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the safety of vision-language models (VLMs) in autonomous driving scenarios. The benchmark addresses a critical gap by assessing both external environmental risks and in-cabin driving behavior safety simultaneously. Initial evaluations using DSBench revealed significant performance degradation in current VLMs under complex safety-critical conditions, highlighting urgent safety concerns. A dataset of 98,000 instances focused on these safety scenarios was also created, and fine-tuning VLMs on this data demonstrated a notable improvement in their safety performance. AI

IMPACT Highlights critical safety gaps in VLMs for autonomous driving, potentially accelerating research into safer AI systems for this domain.

    DSBench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Evaluating External and In-Cabin Risks

    arXiv:2511.14592v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) show great promise for autonomous driving, but their suitability for safety-critical scenarios is largely unexplored, raising safety concerns. This issue arises from the lack of comprehensive …
