CoDrive: Cross-Vehicle World-Consistent Video Generation with Precise Trajectory Control for Cooperative Driving

Generative world models for autonomous driving face two unresolved tensions: heterogeneous control injection, where free-form language, HD-maps, trajectories, and camera poses reside in incompatible representational spaces, and post-hoc cross-view fusion, where per-camera latents fail to encode global 3-D geometry. We trace both to a single root cause: the absence of a shared symbolic interlingua aligning language, geometry, and pixels at the latent-token level. We present DRIVE-CHOREO, an LLM-choreographed multi-agent world model that recasts controllable multi-view video generation as latent choreography. Three Qwen2.5-VL agents - a Director parsing user intent into a structured WorldScript, a Cartographer grounding it into spatially-anchored layout tokens, and an Auditor feeding cross-view critiques back as auxiliary supervision - jointly author a single position-aware token sequence. This sequence is co-compressed with the multi-view video via a view-time permutation that enforces inter-camera geometry within the convolutional receptive field of a 3-D VAE. On nuScenes, DRIVE-CHOREO sets new state-of-the-art multi-view consistency and BEV mAP (21.6) with competitive FVD (45.7); a detector trained purely on our synthetic data gains +2.4 NDS on the real validation split, validating downstream utility.

Collaborative driving systems leverage vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication for multi-agent collaborative perception to enhance driving safety, yet they remain constrained by scarce annotated real-world V2X driving datasets and limited generalization across diverse driving conditions. While image generation technology offers a feasible solution for data augmentation, existing methods tailored for single-vehicle multi-view scenarios face two fundamental challenges in multi-agent driving settings: (1) the expansion of the learning objective degrades generation quality, and (2) the highly dynamic variations across agents hinder the modeling of consistency for physical attributes (e.g., color, category) in jointly observed objects. To bridge this gap, we propose V2XCrafter, the first framework for generating controllable and realistic collaborative driving scene across agents' camera views. For effective learning, we develop a progressive multi-agent diffusion model based on a single-agent backbone, using neighboring agents' latent states as reference signals to progressively guide the single-to-multi diffusion. To address cross-vehicle inconsistency, we propose a cross-agent attention module that leverages a collaboration view graph and learnable jointly observed object representation to model the dynamic cross-agent camera view relationships. Experiments have shown that V2XCrafter can generate high-fidelity and controllable street views with consistency across agents, thereby effectively enhancing the downstream collaborative 3D object detection tasks.

Generalization is a central challenge in autonomous driving, as real-world deployment requires robust performance under unseen scenarios, sensor domains, and environmental conditions. Recent world-model-based planning methods have shown strong capabilities in scene understanding and multi-modal future prediction, yet their generalization across datasets and sensor configurations remains limited. In addition, their loosely coupled planning paradigm often leads to poor video-trajectory consistency during visual imagination. To overcome these limitations, we propose DriveVA, a novel autonomous driving world model that jointly decodes future visual forecasts and action sequences in a shared latent generative process. DriveVA inherits rich priors on motion dynamics and physical plausibility from well-pretrained large-scale video generation models to capture continuous spatiotemporal evolution and causal interaction patterns. To this end, DriveVA employs a DiT-based decoder to jointly predict future action sequences (trajectories) and videos, enabling tighter alignment between planning and scene evolution. We also introduce a video continuation strategy to strengthen long-duration rollout consistency. DriveVA achieves an impressive PDM-based planning performance of 90.9 PDM score on the NAVSIM benchmark. Extensive experiments also demonstrate the zero-shot capability and cross-domain generalization of DriveVA, which reduces average L2 error and collision rate by 78.9% and 83.3% on nuScenes and 52.5% and 52.4% on the Bench2Drive built on CARLA v2 compared with the state-of-the-art world-model-based planner.
