Auto-JEPA: A Latent World Model of Continuous Intent for End-to-End Autonomous Driving

arXiv:2607.29031v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing autonomous-driving world models typically perform dense prediction of future videos, occupancy states, BEV representations, or agent motion. We argue that planning need not reconstruct the complete future world, but only focus on scene features that affect future ego action. Based on this perspective, we propose Auto-JEPA, an action-oriented latent world model that learns continuous future driving intent through joint-embedding prediction....
