BYD Releases HyWorldVLA Autonomous Driving Paper, Achieves SOTA on NAVSIM v1 with PDMS 90.59

BYD's Automotive New Technology Research Institute has released HyWorldVLA, an autonomous driving foundation model that achieves a PDMS of 90.59 on the NAVSIM v1 benchmark, setting a new state-of-the-art among public results. The model employs a Hybrid World Modeling and Vision-Language-Action (VLA) architecture, combining pixel-level world model detail with latent-space reasoning efficiency. Training involves three steps: video compression, pretraining with future token and latent prediction, and joint fine-tuning. Ablation studies show the hybrid strategy is critical, with PDMS dropping to 87.50 without pixel prediction and 89.91 without latent space. In rain-fog scenarios, HyWorldVLA achieves 86.87 PDMS, significantly outperforming pure pixel methods.

Tesla to Open-Source Discontinued Models; NHTSA Probes FSD, $234 million Payout

Tesla plans to open-source the design and software of its discontinued Model S and Model X, as the Fremont production lines are dismantled for Optimus robot manufacturing. Meanwhile, the U. S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened an engineering analysis (EA26002) into Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, issuing 24 interrogatories due by August 12. Failure to respond could result in daily fines of $27,874, up to $139 million. A U. court has ordered Tesla to pay $234 million for FSD-related fatal accidents, with appeals denied. The investigation focuses on FSD's degraded detection performance in low visibility conditions, with nine confirmed accidents linked to sudden visibility loss.
