DriveAgent: where does an LLM help a driving agent?
A tool-using LLM agent on the nuScenes driving dataset that plans 3-second trajectories and handles passenger requests, tested against simpler methods. Every test ran once, under rules written down in advance.
- The LLM structures each request and deterministic code applies the map rules: 89.9% correct on 286 requests, about 20 points above the LLM deciding alone.
- When unsure, the system asks instead of guessing: silent wrong actions fell from 44.6% to 8.8% on 148 new commands.
- For planning, an 18-feature MLP reached 0.609 m L2 on 6,019 frames and the LLM gave no reliable gain; given a reference trajectory, it copied it in 197 of 200 frames.
