Dataset Card for SafeMVDrive
Dataset Description
Overview
The SafeMVDrive dataset is a collection of realism, multi-view safety-critical driving scenarios generated by the SafeMVDrive framework. The scenarios are generated starting from samples randomly selected from the nuScenes validation set, where an adversarial vehicle performs aggressive maneuvers to crash into the ego vehicle, and the ego vehicle reacts in time to avoid the collision. The dataset can be used to train and evaluate end-to-end autonomous driving models on their ability to handle safety-critical situations.

Usage
The SafeMVDrive dataset is in nuScenes format. Please follow instructions to use SafeMVDrive dataset to evaluate the end-to-end driving model，Uniad， in Eval Uniad.
Creation Process
Source Data
- Built upon the nuScenes validation set (250 randomly selected samples)
- Uses nuScenes' original sensor data and annotations as foundation
Generation Pipeline
Adversarial Vehicle Selection: Selects the most threatening vehicle based on multi-view visual input using a GRPO-finetuned Vision-Language Model (VLM).
Two-Stage Trajectory Generation:
- Collision Simulation: Creates aggressive trajectories that cause the adversarial vehicle to collide with the ego vehicle.
- Evasion Refinement: Converts collision trajectories into realistic evasive maneuvers that avoid collision while retaining safety-critical properties.
Video Synthesis: Produces high-fidelity, long-horizon, multi-view driving videos with UniMLVG diffusion video generator.
Filtering
Scenarios are filtered to ensure:
- During the collision stage, the adversarial vehicle collides with the ego vehicle, without entering non-drivable areas or colliding with any other vehicles beforehand
- During the evasion stage, the ego vehicle successfully avoids the adversarial vehicle, without colliding with any other vehicles or entering non-drivable areas
Intended Use
- Robustness evaluation of autonomous driving systems
- Stress-testing end-to-end AD models (e.g., UniAD, VAD, SparseDrive, DiffusionDrive)
- Training end-to-end driving models to learn evasive behaviors in safety-critical scenarios
Limitations
- Although guidance signals are used to generate annotations, the framework lacks a mechanism to discard outdated or irrelevant ones—for example, vehicles that have already exited the ego vehicle’s field of view.
- Open-loop evaluation (no reactive ego agent)
- Rendering artifacts compared to real sensor data
Privacy
- Based on nuScenes data which has already undergone anonymization
- No additional privacy concerns introduced by generation process
