AutoTrust: Benchmarking Trustworthiness in Large Vision Language Models for Autonomous Driving

Recent advancements in large vision language models (VLMs) tailored for autonomous driving (AD) have shown strong scene understanding and reasoning capabilities, making them undeniable candidates for end-to-end driving systems. However, limited work exists on studying the trustworthiness of DriveVLMs -- a critical factor that directly impacts public transportation safety. In this paper, we introduce AutoTrust, a comprehensive trustworthiness benchmark for large vision-language models in autonomous driving (DriveVLMs), considering diverse perspectives -- including trustfulness, safety, robustness, privacy, and fairness. We constructed the largest visual question-answering dataset for investigating trustworthiness issues in driving scenarios, comprising over 10k unique scenes and 18k queries. We evaluated six publicly available VLMs, spanning from generalist to specialist, from open-source to commercial models. Our exhaustive evaluations have unveiled previously undiscovered vulnerabilities of DriveVLMs to trustworthiness threats. Specifically, we found that the general VLMs like LLaVA-v1.6 and GPT-4o-mini surprisingly outperform specialized models fine-tuned for driving in terms of overall trustworthiness. DriveVLMs like DriveLM-Agent are particularly vulnerable to disclosing sensitive information. Additionally, both generalist and specialist VLMs remain susceptible to adversarial attacks and struggle to ensure unbiased decision-making across diverse environments and populations. Our findings call for immediate and decisive action to address the trustworthiness of DriveVLMs -- an issue of critical importance to public safety and the welfare of all citizens relying on autonomous transportation systems. We release all the codes and datasets in https://github.com/taco-group/AutoTrust.

Delta Forcing: Trust Region Steering for Interactive Autoregressive Video Generation

Interactive real-time autoregressive video generation is essential for applications such as content creation and world modeling, where visual content must adapt to dynamically evolving event conditions. A fundamental challenge lies in balancing reactivity and stability: models must respond promptly to new events while maintaining temporal coherence over long horizons. Existing approaches distill bidirectional models into autoregressive generators and further adapt them via streaming long tuning, yet often exhibit persistent drift after condition changes. We identify the cause as conditional bias, where the teacher may provide condition-aligned but trajectory-agnostic guidance, biasing generation toward locally valid yet globally inconsistent modes. Inspired by Trust Region Policy Optimization, we propose Delta Forcing, a simple yet effective framework that constrains unreliable teacher supervision within an adaptive trust region. Specifically, Delta Forcing estimates transition consistency from the latent delta between teacher and generator trajectories, and uses it to balance teacher supervision with a monotonic continuity objective. This suppress unreliable teacher-induced shifts while preserving responsiveness to new events. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Delta Forcing significantly improves consistency while maintaining event reactivity.

Sample hardness based gradient loss for long-tailed cervical cell detection

Due to the difficulty of cancer samples collection and annotation, cervical cancer datasets usually exhibit a long-tailed data distribution. When training a detector to detect the cancer cells in a WSI (Whole Slice Image) image captured from the TCT (Thinprep Cytology Test) specimen, head categories (e.g. normal cells and inflammatory cells) typically have a much larger number of samples than tail categories (e.g. cancer cells). Most existing state-of-the-art long-tailed learning methods in object detection focus on category distribution statistics to solve the problem in the long-tailed scenario without considering the "hardness" of each sample. To address this problem, in this work we propose a Grad-Libra Loss that leverages the gradients to dynamically calibrate the degree of hardness of each sample for different categories, and re-balance the gradients of positive and negative samples. Our loss can thus help the detector to put more emphasis on those hard samples in both head and tail categories. Extensive experiments on a long-tailed TCT WSI image dataset show that the mainstream detectors, e.g. RepPoints, FCOS, ATSS, YOLOF, etc. trained using our proposed Gradient-Libra Loss, achieved much higher (7.8%) mAP than that trained using cross-entropy classification loss.
