GeoDrive-Bench: Benchmarking Region-Specific Multimodal Reasoning in Autonomous Driving

Vision-language models (VLMs) for autonomous driving have shown promising performance, but their ability to handle region-specific traffic rules remains underexplored, raising uncertainties about their deployment across diverse global settings. We therefore introduce GeoDrive-Bench, a novel benchmark that enables the systematic investigation of VLMs' geo-culturally grounded driving reasoning. We curated 5,053 human-validated multiple-choice QA pairs across six countries covering diverse driving cultures. Specifically, we emphasize four driving tasks: perception, prediction, planning, and region reasoning. Each question requires models to infer the correct driving behavior from visual evidence and local traffic conventions without explicit country labels. Beyond evaluation, we further design a distillation algorithm that injects region-specific traffic-rule knowledge into the internal representations of VLMs, enabling models to better align visual scene understanding with local driving policies. Experiments on nine state-of-the-art VLMs show substantial performance variations across geo-driving cultures for each task, while our proposed baseline models exhibit improved geo-cultural reasoning across regions. These results suggest that current VLMs still lack robust region-aware driving intelligence and highlight GeoDrive-Bench as a diagnostic and training-oriented testbed for deployable autonomous driving foundation models.
