FlashDrive: Flash Vision-Language-Action Inference for Autonomous Driving
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models promise to bring end-to-end reasoning to autonomous driving, but their computational cost remains far too high for real-time control. The core challenge is structural: VLA inference is not a single bottleneck but a cascade of four. Visual encoding wastes compute on overlapping video...
