MAPLE: Latent Multi-Agent Play for End-to-End Autonomous Driving

MAPLE: Latent Multi-Agent Play for End-to-End Autonomous Driving

Summary

This research presents MAPLE, a novel framework designed to improve the robustness of vision-language-action (VLA) models in end-to-end autonomous driving.

Editorial context

The paper introduces MAPLE, a framework for closed-loop training of vision-language-action models in autonomous driving using latent multi-agent play without external simulators, achieving state-of-the-art results on Bench2Drive.

arXiv:2605.14201v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) models are effective as end-to-end motion planners, but can be brittle when evaluated in closed-loop settings due to being trained under traditional imitation learning framework. Existing closed-loop supervision approaches lack scalability and fail to completely model a reactive environment. We propose MAPLE, a novel framework for reacti

ve, multi-agent rollout of a dynamic driving scenario in the latent space of the VLA model. The ego vehicle and nearby traffic agents are independently controlled over multi-step horizons, while being reactive to other agents in the scene, enabling closed-loop training. MAPLE consists of two training stages: (1) supervised fine-tuning on the latent rollouts based on ground-truth trajectories, followed by (2) reinforc
