Introducing CaRL: Learning Scalable Planning Policies with Simple Rewards
We show how simple rewards enable scaling up PPO for planning.
CaRL outperforms all prior learning-based approaches on nuPlan Val14 and CARLA longest6 v2, using less inference compute.

🚀 New paper: ConeGS Error-Guided Densification Using Pixel Cones. We improve 3D Gaussian Splatting by placing Gaussians where they matter most: ConeGS adds primitives along pixel-view cones guided by image error, boosting quality with fewer Gaussians. baranowskibrt.github.io/conegs/

Bench2Drive has become a popular autonomous driving benchmark with over 40 methods. Papers only report a few baselines due to space constraints, making it hard to keep an overview. To fix this, we made a leaderboard that contains every published result:

Personally I would not want to be in the camp of arguing that we simply *must* have 40k vehicular deaths a year. Status quo bias is an insane drug

They make a very interesting point at the end about how the numerical differences between data collection and training forward passes can make an RL algorithm lose its On-policy property.
