Original abstract
Discrete visual tokens should provide a compact representation for both token-based world modeling and planning in autonomous driving. However, most tokenizers are inherited from image generation and are optimized mainly for pixel reconstruction, which may leave a gap between what is easy to generate and what is useful to decode for driving decisions. We present a representation-guided and geometry-enhanced tokenizer that learns discrete tokens under joint supervision. The tokenizer aligns its discrete bottleneck with a frozen DINO feature space through feature decoding, while preserving appearance via RGB reconstruction with perceptual and adversarial losses. To inject geometric state-related cues, we add adjacent-frame depth and relative-pose supervision during training and stabilize joint objectives with multi-codebook quantization. We evaluate the same learned tokens with a lightweight planning readout and a GPT-style next-token world model. Experiments on NAVSIM show improved reconstruction fidelity and representation consistency, competitive planning performance under a fixed decoder, and better generative quality under matched settings.
