让自动驾驶轨迹预测自动纠错,提升长期规划的可靠性。

Echo Planning for Autonomous Driving: From Current Observations to Future Trajectories and Back

  • 设计闭环循环机制,用未来轨迹反推当前场景并校准预测
  • 在nuScenes上将平均误差降低0.04米,碰撞率下降0.12%
  • 无需额外标注数据,适合对安全要求高的自动驾驶系统

现代端到端自动驾驶系统存在关键缺陷:规划器缺乏时间一致性约束,导致早期预测误差随时间累积。本文提出Echo Planning(EchoP)框架,构建当前-未来-当前(CFC)闭环,使未来轨迹与场景动态保持双向一致。该机制先从鸟瞰图(BEV)表示预测未来轨迹,再逆向映射回当前BEV状态,并通过循环损失强制原始与重构的BEV一致,从而惩罚不合理的轨迹。在nuScenes数据集上,相比单次规划器,平均L2误差减少0.04米,碰撞率下降0.12%。在闭环评测Bench2Drive中取得26.54%成功率。该方法无需额外监督,仅靠循环结构即可稳定长时序规划。整个方案简洁可部署,显著提升自动驾驶系统的可靠性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Modern end-to-end autonomous driving systems suffer from a critical limitation: their planners lack mechanisms to enforce temporal consistency between predicted trajectories and evolving scene dynamics. This absence of self-supervision allows early prediction errors to compound catastrophically over time. We introduce Echo Planning (EchoP), a new self-correcting framework that establishes an end-to-end Current - Future - Current (CFC) cycle to harmonize trajectory prediction with scene coherence. Our key insight is that plausible future trajectories should be bi-directionally consistent, i.e., not only generated from current observations but also capable of reconstructing them. The CFC mechanism first predicts future trajectories from the Bird's-Eye-View (BEV) scene representation, then inversely maps these trajectories back to estimate the current BEV state. By enforcing consistency between the original and reconstructed BEV representations through a cycle loss, the framework intrinsically penalizes physically implausible or misaligned trajectories. Experiments on nuScenes show that the proposed method yields competitive performance, reducing L2 error (Avg) by -0.04 m and collision rate by -0.12% compared to one-shot planners. Moreover, EchoP seamlessly extends to closed-loop evaluation, i.e., Bench2Drive, attaining a 26.54% success rate. Notably, EchoP requires no additional supervision: the CFC cycle acts as an inductive bias that stabilizes long-horizon planning. Overall, EchoP offers a simple, deployable pathway to improve reliability in safety-critical autonomous driving.
