Sofía Dudas Kicks Off SSAD 2026 Day 3 With Talk on World Models for Autonomous Driving
abursuc · x · 2026-09-17
Day 3 of SSAD 2026 opened with Sofía Dudas presenting on world models for autonomous driving. The reported takeaway: driving needs more than predictive models — world models must progress from associations (what usually happens) to interventions (how?) and then to counterfactuals (why?), i.e., moving from statistical correlation to causal reasoning.
