CRUISE: Vision-Language Model-Guided Uncertainty-Aware Cross-Modal Sensor Fusion for Robust Autonomous Driving
arXiv:2608.09202v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Modern autonomous vehicles are equipped with multiple sensors, such as cameras, LiDAR, and radar, for comprehensive environmental perception. However, robust cross-modal feature fusion remains a critical challenge, as the reliability of each sensor varies significantly across diverse real-world driving conditions, including poor visibility and adverse weather. While uncertainty quantification (UQ) mitigates this issue by allowing models to pri…
