点击下方 卡片 ，关注" 自动驾驶之心 "公众号 戳我-> 领取 自动驾驶近30个 方向 学习 路线 最近和业内专家jason老师讨论了很多，分享一个最近被问到很多的问题： 世界模型是不是端到端？ 答案是明确的：不是。 其实世界模型和端到端都不指某个具体的技术，而是一类具备某些特定能力的模型。 端到端自动驾驶可以这么定义：没有显示的信息处理与决策逻辑，一端接受信息输入，另一端输出决策结果的模型。 世界模型使用类似的定义：它接受信息输入，内在建立起对整个世界/环境的完整认知，能够重建、预测未来变化的模型。 所以世界模型是一种实现端到端自动驾驶的途径。 先前平台打造的《端到端与VLA自动驾驶小班课》备受大家好评，因此我们进一步推出这门世界模型小班课， 课程聚焦于通用世界模型、视频生成、OCC生成等 世界模型算法，涵盖特斯拉世界模型、李飞飞团队Marble等。欢迎大家加入学习~ 早鸟优惠！开课即止~ 讲师介绍 Jason：C9本科+QS50 PhD，已发表CCF-A论文2篇，CCF-B论文若干。现任国内TOP主机厂算法专家，目前从事端到端、大模型、世界模型等前沿算法的预研和量 产，并已主持和完成多项自动驾驶感知和端 ...
