Researchers have introduced CoPhy, a novel cognitive-physical reinforcement learning framework designed to enhance autonomous driving capabilities. This framework integrates knowledge from large vision-language models into a Bird's-Eye View encoder to provide cognitive understanding without increased inference cost. It also features an auto-regressive world model that predicts future semantic maps based on potential actions, creating a sandbox for deriving safety metrics. CoPhy utilizes a dual-reward mechanism to optimize driving policies, ensuring both safety compliance and adherence to user-defined language instructions, and has demonstrated state-of-the-art performance on driving benchmarks.
