Why read this

Compare with EMMA: one starts from the driving task stack, the other from a general multimodal model. What does end-to-end learning mean in each?

What it connects

A starting point for multi-task representations and planning in specialized driving systems. Its connection to EMMA is an editorial comparison.

Conference paper and public benchmarks

First public in 2022, with a 2023 conference publication. Benchmark planning results do not directly establish open-road safety.
