NavSafe-$\infty$: Benchmarking Closed-Loop Driving Safety in Photorealistic Environments

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 22, 2026 · UTC

End-to-end (E2E) driving policies have progressed rapidly on open-loop (OL) benchmarks, yet OL evaluation cannot reveal whether a policy withstands compounding errors, recovers from failures, or interacts safely with surrounding actors. We introduce NavSafe-$\infty$, a photorealistic closed-loop (CL) benchmark of 280 scenarios spanning 28 event types, each with success and failure criteria defined within a structured traffic-safety taxonomy, which yields category-level capability scores for Traffic Crashes, Vulnerable Road User Crashes, Traffic Violations, and Traffic Incidents.
