Why read this

Distinguish world models from driving policies: predicting how a scene changes is not the same as deciding how to drive safely.

What it connects

Brings sequence modeling and video generation into driving. Reading it beside Cosmos highlights shared questions, not direct inheritance.

World-model research and generation evaluation

Generation quality and controllability do not replace closed-loop driving, real-road testing or long-tail safety evaluation.
