Fine-tuning is Not Enough: A Parallel Framework for Collaborative Imitation and Reinforcement Learning in End-to-end Autonomous Driving

📰 ArXiv cs.AI

Fine-tuning is not enough for end-to-end autonomous driving, a parallel framework for collaborative imitation and reinforcement learning is proposed

advanced Published 7 Apr 2026
Action Steps
  1. Identify the limitations of imitation learning in autonomous driving
  2. Incorporate reinforcement learning to improve performance
  3. Implement a parallel framework for collaborative imitation and reinforcement learning
  4. Evaluate the framework's performance and compare it to sequential fine-tuning
Who Needs to Know This

AI engineers and researchers working on autonomous driving systems can benefit from this framework as it improves the performance of end-to-end autonomous driving

Key Insight

💡 Sequential fine-tuning can introduce policy drift and lead to a performance ceiling, a parallel framework can overcome this limitation
