DriveMA: Driving Vision-Language-Action Models with verifiable Meta-Actions
Driving Vision-Language-Action Models (Driving VLAs) aim to use language to improve end-to-end planning, but the language-action gap limits this promise. We propose DriveMA, a Driving VLA framework built on verifiable meta-actions, which summarize future ego motion into compact language-domain intentions and can be constructed from expert trajectories with a trajectory-grounded annotation pipeline and can be verified against generated trajectories through rule-based projection. DriveMA exploits this verifiability with action-centric supervised training and a data-efficient turn-level credit assignment reinforcement learning framework, explicitly aligning high-level decisions with low-level trajectory planning through dense rewards and precise credit assignment. DriveMA sets a new state of the art on the Waymo Open Dataset Vision-based E2E Driving, achieving a Rater Feedback Score of 8.060 with a 2B model and further improving it to 8.079 with a 4B model; it also obtains competitive closed-loop planning performance on NAVSIM. These results show that even a simple meta-action interface can achieve state-of-the-art planning when made verifiable and optimized for language-action alignment.

DriveMA: Rethinking Language Interfaces in Driving VLAs with One-Step Meta-Actions
Driving Vision-Language-Action Models (Driving VLAs) commonly introduce natural-language reasoning as an intermediate interface for end-to-end planning, but reasoning-centric interfaces face three practical bottlenecks: …
Reinforcement LearningDriveMamba: Task-Centric Scalable State Space Model for Efficient End-to-End Autonomous Driving
Recent advances towards End-to-End Autonomous Driving (E2E-AD) have been often devoted on integrating modular designs into a unified framework for joint optimization e.g. UniAD, which follow a sequential paradigm (i.e., …
Autonomous DrivingA knowledge-augmented dataset of high-risk driving scenarios with LLM annotations for autonomous driving
Safe autonomous driving requires both rapid responses to common high-risk events and deeper reasoning over rare, extreme long-tail scenarios in traffic safety. These scenarios are severely under-represented in naturalist…
