🔥 NAVSIM gathers simulation-based metrics (such as progress and time to collision) for end-to-end driving by unrolling simplified bird's eye view abstractions of scenes for a short simulation horizon. It operates under the condition that the policy has no influence on the environment, which enables efficient, open-loop metric computation while being better aligned with closed-loop evaluations than traditional displacement errors.

NAVSIM attempts to address some of the challenges faced by the community:

1. Providing a principled evaluation (by incorporating ideas + data from nuPlan)

• Key Idea: PDM Score, a multi-dimensional metric implemented in open-loop with strong correlation to closed-loop metrics
• Critical scenario sampling, focusing on situations with intention changes where the ego history cannot be extrapolated into a plan
• Official leaderboard on HuggingFace that remains open and prevents ambiguity in metric definitions between projects

2. Maintaining ease of use (by emulating nuScenes)

• Simple data format and reasonably-sized download (<nuPlan’s 5+ TB)
• Large-scale publicly available test split for internal benchmarking
• Continually-maintained devkit

🏁 NAVSIM will serve as a main track in the CVPR 2024 Autonomous Grand Challenge. For further details, please stay tuned!
