LASA: Latency-Aware Safety Arbitration for Vision-Language-Action Autonomous Driving

Deploying Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models in real-time autonomous driving faces two barriers: the difficulty of safety assurance for black-box end-to-end outputs, and inference tail latency far exceeding the 20 ms control deadline at 50 Hz, which causes stale decisions to produce dangerous actions. The 50 Hz Fast R...
