Pictura: Perspective-View Self-Play at Scale for Driving
Quick summary
arXiv:2607.26005v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-play in simulation produces robust driving policies at scale. Demonstrations of such behavior have been made using privileged vectorized observations such as exact poses and velocities, even for occluded agents. This assumes that perception is solved and introduces a representation gap with the partial observation of a deployed agent driving from the perspective view of egocentric cameras. A common fix, distilling the privileged policy into a camera-input student, leaves the student imitating decisions its own view cannot justify. Instead,
