"DriveScene: A Comprehensive Video Dataset for Scenario Understanding, Generation, and Explanation in Autonomous Driving Research"

"Ensuring autonomous vehicles are trustworthy and transparent is crucial for safety and public trust, especially in high-stakes emergent scenarios. However, existing driving datasets rarely capture these safety-critical situations or provide the detailed annotations needed for explainable decision-making. To address this, we introduce DriveScene, a large-scale driving video dataset covering a diverse range of scenarios from routine driving to safety-critical emergencies and featuring a comprehensive annotation schema that labels each scene\u2019s key objects, their actions, causal factors, and surrounding context. These rich annotations support several key tasks: identifying important objects for interaction-aware modeling, predicting the temporal unfolding of emergent scenarios, generating human-readable explanations of driving behavior, and modeling human perception of scenario risk for human-centered scenario analysis.
