NAVSIM's lightweight simulation benchmarks super-charged two years of end-to-end driving progress
abursuc · x · 2026-09-16
- Continuation of the #ssad2026 workshop thread: after pointing out nuPlan's open-loop evaluation flaws, the author highlights the NAVSIM suite of benchmarks built on lightweight simulation.
- NAVSIM has been a "super-enabler" for end-to-end driving model progress over the last two years, though it is acknowledged to be imperfect.
