Outline

AnchDrive is an end-to-end autonomous driving framework that effectively bootstraps diffusion policies to address the high computational costs of existing generative models in the autonomous driving field. Instead of denoising from pure noise, the framework initializes the planner using hybrid trajectory anchors derived from a static vocabulary of general driving prior knowledge and a set of dynamic, context-aware trajectories. The dynamic trajectories are decoded in real time by a Transformer that handles both dense and sparse perceptual features. The diffusion model learns to refine these anchors by predicting the distribution of trajectory offsets. This anchor-based bootstrap design efficiently generates diverse and high-quality trajectories. Experimental results on the NAVSIM benchmark demonstrate that AnchDrive achieves new state-of-the-art performance and demonstrates strong generalization capabilities.
