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.
