Evaluating Physical Consistency and Plausibility in Generative Scenario Models for Autonomous Driving

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.01581v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative AI models are increasingly used for scenario generation in autonomous driving. While they can generate realistic-looking scenarios, they often provide limited transparency into learned representations and consistency with real-world vehicle dynamics. This lack of formal assurance limits their use in safety-critical validation and certification workflows. To address this aspect, we introduce a layered evaluation protocol that complements
