DriveCache: Action-Aware Caching for Driving World Model Inference
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.16354v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Driving video generation models support autonomous-driving development by predicting controllable future scenes for simulation, planning evaluation, and offline data generation. Diffusion-based driving generators repeatedly evaluate large backbones across denoising steps, which limits generation throughput. Existing diffusion acceleration methods reduce this cost, but general-purpose designs omit driving signals available before generation, such as ego speed and planned trajectories. Experiments across driving motions show that cache tolerance va
