arXiv:2610.35044v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World models are emerging as a fundamental component of policy learning for real-world agents, enabling agents to predict future world states and plan actions within a learned representation of the dynamic environment. Existing approaches, however, often model appearance, metric geometry represented by projected LiDAR depth, and ego motion either partially or independently, overlooking the fact that these modalities are different projections of a shared underlying world state. This separation can lead to information loss and cross-modal inconsistency, ultimately limiting downstream performance. Motivated by this unified view of the world, we propose DriveUniTok, a unified multimodal tokenizer for driving world-action models (WAMs) that encodes these modalities in a single decodable continuous latent. We freeze DriveUniTok and adapt a pretrained diffusion model, DriveUniWAM, to predict future unified latents; the tokenizer then decodes them into future appearance, projected LiDAR depth, and ego trajectories. Experiments on NAVSIM demonstrate that our unified design achieves better future prediction and planning performance at lower downstream computational cost than separate-stream alternatives. With reinforcement learning post-training, DriveUniWAM achieves a PDMS of 91.54, reaching state-of-the-art performance among the evaluated WAM-based planners.
