统一视觉与动作生成，让自动驾驶模型先决策再预测未来画面。

World-model-based autonomous driving endows the model with the ability to understand scene evolution. Yet this promise is undermined by the prevailing imagine-then-act paradigm, which allows errors from the more challenging visual generation stage to cascade into action planning. We introduce ForgeDrive, a unified autoregressive diffusion framework with visual-action cross-conditioning that closes this gap through act-then-imagine paradigm. ForgeDrive factorizes the future as a sequence of per-timestep frame-action pairs, intertwining each action with its corresponding visual observation. During training, we decouple the diffusion timesteps of the two modalities and introduce a UniDiffuser-style noise scheduler to get the ability to infer either modality from its counterpart and deepen understanding of relationships between images and actions. At inference, we propose a novel act-then-imagine inference paradigm, and find that at each step, action generation is a capability internalized during training, requiring no clean future frame as a prerequisite at inference time; instead, the generated action can improve the accuracy of future frame generation, which in turn enhances the quality of the next action. Additionally, we augment each step with future ego-status prediction, further sharpening planning ability. Extensive experiments on NAVSIM demonstrate that ForgeDrive not only unifies driving simulation, planning, and visual odometry into a single model, but also outperforms existing strong planners without any post-training strategy.
