Researchers have developed iDriveVLA, a new multi-modal planning framework for autonomous driving that addresses the asymmetry between trajectory generation and evaluation. The framework introduces a unified trajectory evaluator that combines a Safety-aware Scorer for quality and risk estimation with a VLM-guided Modulator for adaptive criterion weighting. This approach, along with an oracle-aligned progressive training strategy, has achieved a new state-of-the-art performance of 94.95 PDMS on the NAVSIM v1 leaderboard, surpassing human-expert references.
