A new research paper explores the capabilities of end-to-end autonomous driving models by testing their performance using only memory of past drives instead of real-time sensor input. The study found that on the NAVSIM benchmark, memory alone was nearly sufficient to match or exceed the performance of leading methods, suggesting that high scores on this benchmark may not accurately reflect a model's ability to react to current traffic conditions. This effect was less pronounced on other benchmarks like Bench2Drive and RealEngine, indicating benchmark-specific limitations in evaluating dynamic scene understanding. AI
IMPACT Suggests current autonomous driving benchmarks may not accurately measure real-time scene understanding, potentially impacting future model development and evaluation.
